The holiday season is a big and important time for most families. There are many things on our to do list, shop for gifts, plan family gatherings, cook fabulous meals, remain happy and bubbly! For some, this can be a big source of stress coupled with other life factors. I've put together a list of a few small things that you can do to reduce your holiday stress. Check them out below.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Eat healthy meals</span></div>
As much as we would probably love to live on coffee alone, our bodies will repay us by being sluggish and cranky. In order to survive the holidays, we have to start waking up and preparing a healthy breakfast for ourselves and the family. Oatmeal is always a family favorite, it's easy to make and is nutritious. I love to make oatmeal with fresh berries and nuts. Also, have a plan in mind for lunch and dinner so you won't feel rushed later into the day and turn to eating junk food. Meal planning/prepping is always a good idea. <div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Get a good nights sleep</span></div>
This is easier said than done. I'm normally an early sleeper and an early riser but lately I've been finding myself going to bed at 11pm sometimes! Going to sleep this late makes me exhausted in the morning. To help myself go to sleep earlier, I've been putting down my phone and turning off my computer at about 8pm, this helps with being able to relax my mind. A cup of chamomile tea helps with relaxation. Having a nighttime routine for your children will not only be beneficial for their sleep habits but will also help you sleep better. If the kids are in the bed at a certain time every night, then you will begin to unwind at a certain time every night, leading to longer and better sleep.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Reduce time on social media</span></div>
The holidays are some of the best times to look at beautiful pictures of happy families, fabulous gifts, and extravagant vacations on social media. But, these beautiful pictures can sometimes lead to feelings of enviousness, unworthiness, and even jealousy if you begin to compare your life to those in the pictures. We have to remember that social media is a highlight reel of your life's best moments and even though someone's life may seem "perfect", we should be grateful for the life that we currently have. Reducing time spent on social media will improve your feelings of gratefulness and overall self worth. I like to read, journal, and enjoy other hobbies during the holidays. </div><div><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Say "NO" to some holiday activities</span></div>
This is a big one for me! My little lady and I are always on the go, we love exploring and attending different events around the city. I'm getting emails daily about holiday plays, tree lightings, parades, holiday parties, and Santa visits. Of course, I want to take my daughter to ALL the holiday things, but I have to learn to say no! Mainly because Atlanta traffic can be so terrible, it makes a typical 20 minute ride drag out for 30 and 45 minutes! Another reason is because my pockets just can't handle all the things and holiday gifts lol. So we have to choose! I'm picking a few free and affordable events to attend during the holidays and I am saying "no" to anything that makes me feel stressed about going.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Spend time with your friends</span></div>
Yes, the holidays are for spending time with your family, but don't let your friendships fall to the backburner! Hanging out with friends can be a refreshing twist to daily mom life. So plan a few friend dates this holiday season!<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">I was scrolling through Instagram and I came across a meme that said "I'm a mother. My hobbies include neglecting my hair, repeating myself over and over, daydreaming about bed time, constantly picking up my couch cushions from the floor, and never peeing by myself." It stuck out to me because for a long time, I was the woman it described. Not having a designated place to go everyday anymore, I had completely neglected myself. I stayed home almost daily, wasn't doing my hair, wasn't exercising, and my hobbies were on the back burner. After a while, I began to feel a little crummy and I knew something had to change. I was a fun person before I had a baby so why was I not that way after having a baby? Becoming a mom and being a stay at home mom is an adjustment so I would like to give you some tips to make the adjustment a little easier!</span></div>

<div>
I can't stress how much this has helped me. I actually met a lot of my mom friends through Facebook, mainly mom groups. Almost like I was looking for a date lol. "Hey girl, I saw that you live near me and we have kiddies that are around the same age. We should get together sometime." And there you have it, your first mom friend! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take a break from your child/children</span></div>
Ava did not spend the night away from me until she was about 19 months old. What the heck was I thinking?! My parents have always been gladly willing to keep Ava, I guess I was just the nervous first time mom. We all need time to regroup and a little time alone will definitely refresh your mind. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

This one was hard for me. I felt bad for "wasting money" getting my hair done or buying a new bottle of <a href="https://amzn.to/2rtSnGc">nail polish</a>. But if getting your hair done makes you feel amazing, then do it! My personal feel good habits are going to the hair salon, freshly painted hands and feet, and beautifully scented <a href="https://amzn.to/2SD8ZqM">perfume</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.thedailyaprilnava.com/2017/05/6-items-moms-need-for-enjoyable-outings.html">Get out of the house with your children!</a></span></div>
Stay at home moms shouldn't actually stay at home! I can't tell you how many times I've heard a mom say "it's too hot to go outside", "it's too cold to go outside", " the kids are driving me crazy so we are staying in." The kids are driving you crazy because they need to be outside! Go to the park, let the kids burn off some energy and get some fresh air. They will have a good lunch, take a nice long nap, and you can get a little bit done around the house or even take a nap yourself. <br /><br />
I really want to encourage moms to enjoy being home with their babies but not forget about themselves in the process. I wish I had read something like this a few years ago. I hope you find these tips helpful. Let me know in the comments some things that make you smile! Until next time.<br />

I read at least 4 books per month whether it is an e-book, physical book, and lately I've been listening to audio books. Thanks to my <a href="https://amzn.to/3oXSG8U">Kindle Fire</a>, I have surpassed my reading goal or the year, I'm able to quickly download e-books, I'm able to read at night, and I have <a href="https://amzn.to/3p6GhQ6">Kindle Unlimited</a> which is a subscription service that gives me reading access to thousands of books and magazines. I would like to share with you a few books to cozy up with during the cold months. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zLCcyjkytaE/X6K-p7Sd23I/AAAAAAAAvIE/m4clwu-40Y0bt-TolQEGJTv_AXQP8hH_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1102/fall%2Breading.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="6 Books To Cozy Up With This Fall - TheDailyAprilnAva" border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zLCcyjkytaE/X6K-p7Sd23I/AAAAAAAAvIE/m4clwu-40Y0bt-TolQEGJTv_AXQP8hH_wCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/fall%2Breading.png" title="6 Books To Cozy Up With This Fall - TheDailyAprilnAva" width="426" /></a></div><p>I always love curling up with a good novel during the fall months.

Why? Well it's my birth month of course! But April is also my favorite because it is National Poetry Month, National Earth Month, the spring season kicks into high gear and I love April Fool's Day. I'm sharing some activities that we plan to do this April and spring season. Hopefully you will enjoy them too.

Prepare for your spring garden.</b> - Flower and food gardening is a fun hobby so we will be making crafts to decorate the yard and the garden. We will also finally be able to order butterfly larvae to raise, observe, and release this spring! </p><p><b>2. Have a craft day!</b> - Pinterest is filled with craft inspiration and is usually my go to when looking for something specific. This cute <a href="https://www.iheartartsncrafts.com/egg-carton-flowers-kids-craft/">Egg Carton Flower craft</a> looks really simple to make. How pretty is this <a href="https://welcometonanas.com/paint-with-broccoli/">Spring Tree Broccoli painting</a>?! I think we will follow these exact steps, paint on canvas, and hang it on the wall. A tree broccoli painting would be nice to make for each season too. Windsocks are always fun to make and these <a href="https://iheartcraftythings.com/cherry-blossom-craft.html">Cherry Blossom Windsocks</a> are so pretty! We don't have many Cherry Blossom trees here but a nice spin on these would be a Dogwood Windsock! </p>

These <a href="https://premeditatedleftovers.com/recipes-cooking-tips/valentines-day-chocolate-dipped-pretzels/">chocolate covered pretzels</a> look so yummy and simple to make. My daughter suggested that we try making <a href="https://acultivatednest.com/valentines-day-chocolate-drizzled-popcorn/">Valentine's Day Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn. </a> Lastly, I am obsessed with peppermint bark, so I would like to try making <a href="https://mycrazygoodlife.com/easy-valentines-day-bark/">Valentine's Day Bark</a>. </p><p>These activities would be fun for anyone having a socially distanced Valentine's Day. A virtual meetup with friends wile doing some of the crafts or cooking would make Valentine's extra fun. I am thrilled to do these activities this Valentine's Day with my little lady.

There are many things that you can do for yourself during your social media detox, journal, take a yoga class, catch up on your reading or podcasts. You can also use this time to give your children extra special attention, plan a picnic or a trip to the playground, actively listen to your children when they talk, play board games, binge watch Netflix, or enjoy a lazy day.<br />

<b>3. Practice peaceful parenting.</b> I like to consider myself to be a gentle/peaceful parent but there is always room for improvement. My little lady is 4 now and is discovering her own voice, having an opinion about everything, and wanting to do the opposite of what I am asking her to do. This can sometimes be frustrating, so I would like to practice responding to my child instead of reacting, reduce my use of the word "no", and overall being more attentive. If you would like peaceful/gentle parenting inspiration, follow along here: <a href="https://pin.it/lsizts2mpmrayc">Peaceful, Gentle Childhood</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Writing things down helps with memory. Physically writing down goals instead of typing them out, makes your brain process them as a priority.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Create a routine/schedule for your child</b></span></div>
I typically use my <a href="https://amzn.to/3kl4s9B">planner</a> to keep track of our activities for the week. A <a href="https://amzn.to/3kl4s9B">planner</a> is great for scheduling playdates, keeping track of events around the city, and even tracking weekly gas prices to drive to all these places! Adding daily <a href="https://amzn.to/3kl4s9B">planner</a> pages to your <a href="https://amzn.to/3kl4s9B">planner</a> would help keep track of daily schedules and will help you begin to see your daily and weekly routines.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stick to a cleaning schedule</b></span></div>
I find it helpful to have small cleaning jobs daily instead of cleaning everything on one day of the week. I have a chart in my planner where I write down daily cleaning tasks for the week and I try to use this chart to clean every week. The time of day used to complete the job doesn't matter, just as long as the job is done that day. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Plan a day to do nothing!</b></span></div>
Having a well planned life is good but planning a day to do nothing feels amazing. Our usual "do nothing" day is Friday. We may go to the playground this day but for the most part, I forget about the time and go with the flow. It helps to relax from the hustle and bustle of the week. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bqBMB8Aa4oo/X6xyr1aSNTI/AAAAAAAAvbc/9-0aw_3Nf5oBYRo40qXPky9yeDCz5NHjQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1102/new%2Byear%2Bplans.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bqBMB8Aa4oo/X6xyr1aSNTI/AAAAAAAAvbc/9-0aw_3Nf5oBYRo40qXPky9yeDCz5NHjQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/new%2Byear%2Bplans.png" /></a></div><br /></div>

My daughter has always been intrigued with my journaling, so I like to keep blank notebooks for her to write and draw in. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Since beginning a new homeschool year with my daughter, I have decided to incorporate journaling into her school day.

Parents unwittingly pass on an inheritance of psychological pain and emotional shallowness. To handle the behavior that results, traditional books on parenting abound with clever techniques for control and quick fixes for dysfunction. In Dr. Shefali Tsabary's conscious approach to parenting, however, children serve as mirrors of their parents' forgotten self. Those willing to look in the mirror have an opportunity to establish a relationship with their own inner state of wholeness. Once they find their way back to their essence, parents enter into communion with their children, shifting away from the traditional parent-to-child "know it all" approach and more towards a mutual parent-with-child relationship. The pillars of the parental ego crumble as the parents awaken to the ability of their children to transport them into a state of presence." </span></span><br />

The authors explain—and make accessible—the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Since officially starting our homeschool journey almost a year ago, I have quickly realized a few things that are must haves in my life. Along with being organized and having a flexible attitude and schedule. these things will greatly improve your homeschool days. Have a look below at what I am recommending for every homeschool family.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dxYMov8FRVE/Xy23kET9mXI/AAAAAAAArYE/PpnxqWMmX7wO2EkdOZvjcG1IoG0gweMXwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1102/every%2Bhomeschool%2Bfam%2B%25281%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="5 Things Every Homeschool Family Needs - TheDailyAprilnAva" border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dxYMov8FRVE/Xy23kET9mXI/AAAAAAAArYE/PpnxqWMmX7wO2EkdOZvjcG1IoG0gweMXwCLcBGAsYHQ/w427-h640/every%2Bhomeschool%2Bfam%2B%25281%2529.png" title="5 Things Every Homeschool Family Needs - TheDailyAprilnAva" width="427" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<b>1. Museum memberships</b> - Museum memberships are a homeschool mom's, even a stay at home mom's, best friend! A membership to various museums in your city will almost always save you money and time. We use our museum memberships regularly, and I especially like the memberships that also have adult events. <a href="http://www.thedailyaprilnava.com/2019/04/best-memberships-to-have-in-atlanta.html">HERE</a>, I have shared the best museum memberships for kids in Atlanta.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Library event schedules</b> - The library is one of your best resources for homeschooling. There are tons of free (obvi lol) books, computers, printing, audio and digital media, but mostly, library events and programs. We attend local library events all the time! I just go on the library website, look at the event calendar, and write down the events in my planner to attend. We have gone to storytimes with free new books, summer reading festivals, and even family yoga classes. So if you haven't checked out the programs at your local library, I suggest doing so soon. And best of all, library events are free to attend!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Homeschool friends</b> - Yes, every homeschool family needs homeschool friends! Friends not only for the children, but for the moms as well. You can meet and make friends with other homeschool families out in public, as well making friends through the internet. We met most of our homeschool friends through Facebook group meetups. Some were general mom groups and some were specifically for homeschoolers. However you decide to meet homeschool friends, be sure to keep in touch with with your new social circle. <a href="http://www.thedailyaprilnava.com/2017/03/how-to-find-and-keep-mom-friends.html">HERE</a> are some other tips for finding and keeping homeschool friends.<br />

<b>4. Amazon Prime Membership</b> - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/tryprimefree?ref_=assoc_tag_ph_1427739975520&_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=pf4&tag=aprilkitchens-20&linkId=fa5c7c23583133999b0ee0c122cb6bc3" target="_blank">Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=aprilkitchens-20&l=pf4&o=1" style="border: none; margin: 0px;" width="1" /> This may be a given. Every family, whether they homeschool or not should have Amazon Prime. Two day shipping, grocery delivery, music, videos, curriculum, pencils, paint, basically everything that you need for your home and homeschool at your fingertips. I've literally had Amazon Prime since 2005 when I was ordering college textbooks, so I am a true fan.<br />

I love my kindle and I read book on it daily. I honestly don't use my kindle for anything other than reading, however it works just like any other tablet. My daughter also has a kindle and uses it for reading, playing games and watching youtube. The kindle fire works best with a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/hz/signup?ref_=assoc_tag_ph_1454291293420&_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=pf4&tag=aprilkitchens-20&linkId=8ff71c5b5e713789f3cce785e99d49d1">Kindle Unlimited</a> subscription, unlimited reading from over 1 million e-books! You can also download the Kindle app on any device and read your Kindle Unlimited books there as well. Such a wonderful tool to have for homeschool.<br />

Even if you aren't a homeschooler, this list would benefit families in general. I remember using these suggestions when I was just a stay at home mom. What are some other things that you suggest for homeschool families? Let me know in the comments! Until next time.<br />

5. <a href="http://education.com/">Education.com</a> - Why didn't I think of this site before? Education.com is providing resources for families, guided lessons, independent study packets and much more. This is another site where you want to make sure your printer is loaded with ink as the activities are printables.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cw4oLCH31DY/Xs-5f7KVo5I/AAAAAAAAn2w/jB_PQON4qdoebWkcXxHMLsklyyGeq9wVwCK4BGAsYHg/Corona%2Bwebsites.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Schooling At Home During A Pandemic: Our Favorite Virtual Learning Websites" border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cw4oLCH31DY/Xs-5f7KVo5I/AAAAAAAAn2w/jB_PQON4qdoebWkcXxHMLsklyyGeq9wVwCK4BGAsYHg/w266-h400/Corona%2Bwebsites.png" title="Schooling At Home During A Pandemic: Our Favorite Virtual Learning Websites" width="266" /></a></div><div>
Some other resources that we are enjoying are <a href="https://www.instagram.com/petethecatofficial/">live drawing and storytime with Pete the cat</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ArtforKidsHub">Art For Kids Hub</a> on Youtube, <a href="https://www.gonoodle.com/">GoNoodle</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DeepSpaceSparklePage/">Deep Space Sparkle</a> art class, and <a href="https://www.highlightskids.com/">Highlights Kids</a>. Before this all started, we didn't really use online learning much in our homeschool day, but I am welcoming this change to our day, my daughter is enjoying it, and I am impressed with the quality of information being shared from these wonderful companies. Have you incorporated virtual learning into your homeschool day? Let me know in the comments below. Until Next Time.<br />

In the state of Georgia, school is not required until the age of 6, so the day after Ava's 6th birthday, I will be signing a deceleration of intent with the state.<br />

I'm keeping it pretty simple with math this year. We will be focusing on addition, subtraction, counting money, and telling time. Ava loves to play pretend and sell me food from her restaurant, so will get plenty of practice counting money. </div>

We visit art museums pretty often and Ava wants to learn to draw. I thought it would be interesting to learn more about the art that we see at the museum and I also found a few drawing guides.<br />

My little lady loves science! This year she will be taking a science class with our new co-op group! I'll also be subscribing to kiwi crate for her. We will be learning more about animals for this first semester and we will learn more about space for the second semester. We will also be watching animal shows on National Geographic.<br />

I think history and social studies will be my favorite subjects to teach this year. We are learning more about our African American history and culture and well as learning more about other cultures.<br />

I really think you will enjoy using the books and games that I've shared, and if you do decide to purchase something, send me a picture on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedailyaprilnava/">Instagram @thedailyaprilnava</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">Moming is hard, like really hard. Being a SAHM, it is so easy to fall into bad habits. No one is around to see that you haven't moved from the couch all day, and if you did move from the couch, it was to hand your little one the iPad so you can continue to sit on the couch lol. Or maybe that was just me?! I know I share all the fun, get up and go activities that my daughter and I do on my blog, but even though I have unicorn blood, I too can/have fallen prey to bad habits. Here are some of my bad habits and how I ditched them.</span><br /></div>

At one point, I was throwing on tshirts and sweats almost daily, I probably barely even combed my hair. Not anymore! I know we need to be comfortable chasing around the little people, but now my new idea of comfort is a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RXXXNBY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=aprilkitchens-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07RXXXNBY&linkId=15a97441011c7ce882e4c633cbf87679">dress</a> paired with <a href="https://amzn.to/2Qleduu">sandals</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S9R0LNM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=aprilkitchens-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B00S9R0LNM&linkId=5a541a484ccc4dc9b581a12d56b8aaf0">jeans</a>, a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0776C6T47/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=aprilkitchens-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0776C6T47&linkId=4e9f325238c3ac99bb49acb528650e7b">cute top</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/2rwXHbK">sneakers</a>.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Not Packing Snacks</span></b> </div>
No matter how much your little one eats before you leave the house, hearing, seeing, or smelling food will make them want to eat again, and they will whine until they get to eat! Case and point: I took my little person for a playdate. She had a full belly before we left the house and we weren't staying at the playdate long so I didn't bother bringing her snack. As soon as the other mom mentioned "snack" Ava wanted a snack. The whining began, and she wasn't even hungry!! So whatever you do, have some food stashed somewhere lol. I love keeping <a href="https://amzn.to/2QL9emf">fig bars</a> in my purse now. Lesson learned!</div><div><br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Too Much Screen Time</b> </span></div>
This is a biggie. Kids can be hypnotized by a screen whether it's a kindle, iPad, television, or computer. A hypnotized kid means a break for mom. Win, win right? Wrong!!! I have personally found that too much screen time for my daughter makes her a cranky, stubborn, mess. I made the mistake of letting Ava play games on the kindle or watch PBS Kids a little too much a few weeks ago. Of course when I tell her that it is time to move on to something else, the tantrums began and it seemed to go on for days. #help So to eliminate this behavior, we cut the cable and Ava is a new person! She is pretending a ton more, we play together more, she is attentive, and she is listening better. I will occasionally let her watch Reading Rainbow or an animal documentary on Netflix, but having the TV on all day is non existent and I am happy with that.<br />

Can you believe it? This well planned and organized mom was leaving the house wearing sweat pants and no snacks! Thankfully I realized what I was doing, it took a few pictures of me looking horrible to realize it lol. Do you have any bad mom habits? What are you doing to change? Leave a comment below!

So you're pregnant or just welcomed a new baby, congrats! I remember being pregnant and registering for everything under the sun for my new little squish. I knew exactly what I wanted and needed for her and my family and friends were able to get those items for me. But guess who I forgot to register for, me! I truly did not realize that I would need a few essentials to make my life a little easier for the postpartum time period. I'm sharing the items that saved my new mom life, have a look.</span><br />

So keep some snack bars by the bed to eat in between meals.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CQ3E4AK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=aprilkitchens-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01CQ3E4AK&linkId=befc449dd3c4fd88c76f39abfae8660e">Post-natal Vitamins</a> - After giving birth, my eating habits changed, I was eating everything in sight! Nursing makes you hungry, and sometimes I was so tired that I just ate whatever I could get my hands on. Post-natal vitamins were a big help in getting me the vitamins and minerals that I needed to produce milk for my daughter. <br />

I had no idea that nursing nightgowns were a thing! I mainly slept in big t-shirts and when it was time to feed, I just removed my shirt. Had I known about nursing gowns, I probably would have had one for every day of the week. There were many cold nights where I'm sitting the the bed topless and freezing lol. Don't be like me, pick up a few nursing gowns!<br />

And I quickly realized that I didn't have anything to hold my daughter in for a walk around the neighborhood. The stroller was too complicated to pull out for a quick walk, so I ordered a sling. A sling is great for quick trips to the store, a casual walk outside, and even in home use for soothing baby while getting chores done.<br />

Even though I had experience caring for infants, I didn't have experience caring for my own infant, 24 hours a day! Here are a few books that were life savers for me:<br />
1. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553393820/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0553393820&linkCode=as2&tag=aprilkitchens-20&linkId=aeaf482586d0525aa5cc7d09d6224c7c" target="_blank">Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, 6th Edition: Birth to Age 5</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=aprilkitchens-20&l=am2&o=1&a=0553393820" style="border: none; margin: 0px;" width="1" />- I still refer to this book and my daughter is 5 years old now.<br />

I can honestly say that if you are about to give birth, you NEED everything on this list. If I had to re-do my birth experience over again, I would have these items before my daughter arrived instead of scrambling to order them when I got home from the hospital while in a daze from pain medications lol. You can see the full shopping list <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-27869053">HERE</a> or click the pictures to see more information n the products. Do you have anything that you would add to this list? Let me know in the comments below! Until next time.<br />
