STACEY’S GO TO “MOM HACK”

  • As a first time mom it is so easy to feel like you need all of the latest and greatest things, from high chairs to walkers to bottles, we’ve been there, we get it! Stacey’s mom hack for new or veteran moms is wait to buy what you need when you need it, rather than buying in advance! Instead of registering for future items you think you’ll need, ask for gift cards to places you want to buy from or prepared meal delivery services, the options are endless! Stacey’s go to gift for expecting friends is an Uber Eats Gift Card , and lets be real, pre-made food delivered hot to your door really is the most appreciated gift post baby!

STACEY’S HELPFUL MOM TIP

  • Almost every parent has had to go through the process of weening your child off the bottle and sometimes it can be a difficult process, to say the least! Stacey shared her tip for weening her little one off the bottle and it is a smart, simple tip that makes your child have to participate in the decision! When it came time for the bottle, she gave her daughter the option of milk out of the sippy cup or water out of bottle, and 9/10 times milk was the obvious choice! Genius!
