Desmond is 2 and a half years old now and Dash will be a year old in June.

If you've already got 2 under 2, I don't have to tell you how hard this life is. I don't have to tell you how absolutely rewarding it is either.

For those who don't know, caring for a toddler is like constantly cleaning up after a tornado, while it's still happening. Babies aren't much easier, it's like having a gremlin that you've accidentally fed after midnight.

This is scary business, raising sweet little monsters angels. It's the most important and under appreciated job, and it's yours! Congratulations.

The good news is, there are lots of things we can do amidst the chaos to make this mom life easier. I'd like to share just a few of my best tips with you. (Adapted from a blog post originally published May 6, 2019).
