It’s no surprise that Moms need to be celebrated, especially with all that we do that goes unnoticed.

There is such a huge invisible workload, such as:

• Managing schedules for all members of the family
• Coordinating extracurricular activities
• Coordinating playdates
• Attending school functions, games, plays, and more
• Packing lunches
• Coordinating appointments
• In charge of school-related paperwork and tasks

Easy Tips You Can Incorporate

It can be easy to get stuck in the weeds of our daily invisible workload, but there are ways you can still make it special and enjoyable for both you and your family. Some of these include through lunchboxes, routines, and simple gestures.

Lunchboxes

One of the things all parents hate doing is packing lunches, day after day. It can be challenging to find things that your child will not only enjoy and eat, but also that last until lunchtime, are nutritious, and are easy to pack and send along.

Innobaby has an entire line of lunchboxes that can make your life a little easier. All of our lunchbox options are leakproof, dishwasher-safe, and made from high-quality materials, including platinum silicone and stainless steel.

With features such as removable dividers, customizable charms, and being leakproof without a rubber seal, Innobaby takes the work and worry out of having to pack a lunch for your kids.

With that, you can add special touches to make it more enjoyable for them and you.

These include: 

• Leaving a napkin note in their lunchbox 
• Cutting food into fun shapes
• Using a dry-erase marker to draw a heart or smiley face on a lunchbox
• Including a sticker or small toy
• Surprising them with a piece of candy

Routines

In a house with children (especially small children!), routines hardly go as planned. Families with children are notoriously late. In fact, according to Business, 43% of parents consider themselves late for something every day.

Rather than stressing about routines, rushing every morning, and creating an unpleasant environment when trying to leave the house, you can make it enjoyable for the whole family with a little bit of Mom Magic.

Here are some tips:

• Visual aids with charts and timers
• Offering praise through rewards and incentives
• Involve children by asking for their input
• Lead by example
• Start the day positively, as it sets the tone for your child’s entire day
• Challenge your child to do tasks as fast as they can or in a new way

Innobaby can help simplify your daily routines through easy mealtime essentials, toys that are quick and easy to clean, and worry-free bath products that don’t require attention to keep clean and mildew-free.

Simple Gestures

The best kind of Mom Magic for kids is through simple gestures that happen at random. Children love to know that you were thinking about them while you were apart, that they made your day special, and that they are important to you.

Some great simple gestures you can give your kids to let them know you love them include:

• Spend at least 10 minutes a day giving them your undivided attention
• Surprise them with a little gift, such as Innobaby’s Flex Charmz or sensory toys
• Don’t use your phone around your kids, especially if they are not having screentime themselves
• Give your child at least one compliment every day

Simple gestures can be hard to incorporate into everyday life, especially for busy families. Stocking up on some great gifts you can surprise them with is always a great idea, and a welcome gesture for littles!

Rather than plying them with cheap toys and candies, Innobaby has an entire line of quality toys that will last them for years. Sensory bubble toys, bath toys, mealtime essentials, FlexCharmz, and sensory fidget toys are just a few of our favorite things.

Putting You First

The best way to be a best Mom is to put yourself first, Mama! You can’t take care of your kids in a positive way if you have no gas in your tank. Make sure you are making time for self-care and communicating your needs to your partner, friends, and family.
