Mom Hacks ✨
as a first time mom - i change everything i do as i grow and realize what works best for me and what doesn’t!
- Book case and storage cubes
This helped with many random items that we had, but didn’t know where to place them! In one cube, i separated her leggings. but that’s because i had no more room in her drawers 🫣 I also separated her socks/ shoes. another was tiny toys. and the last one was all of her bath wash, lotions, brushes, and diaper rash cream. i didn’t want to overwhelm our guest bathroom with baby stuff 🫠
- book box
I decided to create a small space to read with my girl. i wanted a huge book shelf but i realized her room isn’t so big for one. i grabbed a wooden box and a random mat (that doesn’t match our nursery theme, but it was too cute to not grab) and i made a little reading section! my girl sits there and just listens to me read while looking at the pics. and she has tons of books for all ages! another hack for a baby shower - ask them to bring a book and to sign it or leave a note! we received so many nice words and beautiful books!
- stroller fan
if you love to go for walks but you don’t want to overheat your baby, but you want to get a nice workout in… a stroller fan is sooooo helpful! We live in HTX and it can get pretty hot here. this has kept my girl feeling nice and cool! and of course we take some water for her to make sure she’s hydrated!
- aquaphor baby healing stick
I actually seen this on a TikTok and decided to try it for myself! My girl would get bad heat acne (especially as a newborn in the TX heat) and i felt so bad! I took a chance on it and it cleared her acne! i know acne is super normal, i just wanted to see if anything would help my sweet girl! My friends baby also has very sensitive skin, i told her it’s worth a shot! she facetimed me QUICK and said it helped her dry skin and acne so much! i see her and her baby very often, and i noticed a massive difference!

As a first-time mom, navigating through the vast world of parenting products can feel overwhelming, but there are some essential mom hacks that can simplify your day-to-day life and enhance your experience. One of the most effective strategies is to utilize storage solutions such as storage cubes and book cases. Organizing baby clothes, toys, and toiletries into designated spaces not only reduces clutter but also makes it easy to locate items when needed. Creating a cozy reading corner with a simple book box can also foster a love for reading in your child early on. Prepare a small space with comfortable seating and a collection of age-appropriate books to enjoy together during story time. Consider asking for books as baby shower gifts, with special messages from loved ones, to create sentimental keepsakes. On hot days, a stroller fan is an absolute must-have for outings. It keeps your little one cool during walks, ensuring their comfort while promoting hydration with the usual water intake. Additionally, products like the Aquaphor Baby Healing Stick can be a lifesaver for babies dealing with skin issues, such as heat acne, especially in warmer climates. Not only did this product provide relief for your child’s sensitive skin, but it also worked wonders for a friend’s baby, showcasing its effectiveness. Integrating these simple yet valuable hacks into your routine can ease the transition to motherhood. Remember, sharing experiences and solutions with fellow moms can foster a supportive community while discovering new tricks to handle the challenges of parenting.
The cube storage 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 all my son has in his room is cube storage for his toys and clothes. It’s easy to keep organized or just throw everything in and no one will ever know 🤣
