![Fist pumps for Caroline’s amazing big girl bed🙌🏼 Is it an issue if your toddler loves their bed a little TOO much? [ #NectarSleepPartner ] @nectarsleep sent her their Memory Foam Mattress, and since setting it up, she has slept harder and longer than on any other bed.
Whenever we go out of town, this girl actually cries for her bed every time now.
She is one of those kids that plays so hard and crashes even harder so knowing she loves her bed that much makes me feel reassured that she is getting restful sleep. The gel memory foam is super soft, helps circulate air flow, and distributes weight in a way that helps with me not disturbing Caroline when I leave her to sleep after story time is over each night.
I highly recommend trying @nectarsleep yourself or for your little ones! Head to the #linkinmybio and click to shop. Take advantage of their 100% risk free 365 Day Sleep Trial. They have financing available and a Forever Warranty which is unheard of! Like I said, to my link and shop and check out my stories for an up close look at Caroline receiving her big girl bed and real time review! Thank you so much @nectarsleep for supplying my girl with the most comfortable space I’ve ever seen her sleep💗

![[ #FableticsPartner ] STRENGTH /streNG(k)TH/ the capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.
Strength comes in so many different shapes and sizes. Since Jan 1 I have been working on physical strength, mental strength, emotional strength. It’s been a few months of me focusing on me which is a huge 180 of how it’s been for the past two years. I’m not sure of a better feeling than when I can tell I am stronger. Whether it be lifting heavier weights with ease, running without getting exhausted, or focusing on a project from start to finish(this is still a work in progress, if you’ve been watching my stories you know), being strong is something I truly hope to pass to my girls as a great trait to have. In the beginning #MyFabletics made it so much easier for me to work on the physical part, but now it’s a huge boost to my mental and emotional strength as I look in the mirror and see myself getting strong💪🏼

![[ AD ] Let’s talk about that time of the month for a second. Pre-mom me was all about laying around, waiting out the cramps and pains that came along with that awful time of the month because I could. I had the free time to do that. Mom life has changed all that. I can’t just stop everything and wait it out, so luckily I found CONTROL Menstrual Cramp relief which has helped me get back to important meetings and keeping up with my girls, even when my body is not feeling up to it. @ControlCramps goes with me everywhere when that monthly time hits because it eases those aches within minutes. Here are 3 tips I have for busy moms who experience painful period cramping:
✨ Drink hot tea instead of coffee. The herbal teas are better for soothing body aches
✨ Make a fun movie night when the pains are the worst for the kids to enjoy while you relax with a heating pad against the cramping area.
✨ Lean on your spouse or close friend/family member to watch the kids while you take a long warm shower/bath.
These are three of my favorite things to do when cramping is just too much. I always apply my Control cream first, and then run down that list.
Luckily, CONTROL is a unique, FDA cleared, over-the-counter (OTC) topical analgesic pain cream designed for women that are searching for a more effective and safer treatment for the period pain that they experience every month. I just lather it on the areas I feel the most aches, and can get back to my day without feeling burdened with cramp pains. I also do not like to load my body up with different over-the-counter medicines to try and ease aches and pains so with CONTROL, I have found a better, more natural way to control period cramp pain. Head to the link in my profile or swipe up in my stories, use code CONTROL20 when ordering and get your monthly pains under CONTROL today!
