Mood Boosting Ideas: Is your family grumpy or stressed out? Try getting some more sleep! If this sounds easier said than done, here are some strategies: You can help both you and your kids sleep better by establishing bedtime routines, like reading a bedtime story or taking a shower or bath before bed. What's something your family does before bed? Comment below!
Warm bath, brush teeth, read books, jammies, and snuggle! Then it’s sound machine on and lights out!
We always brush teeth and read a few books, then say goodnight and shut the door!
Have some down time, brush teeth, crawl into bed for bed time stories and then off to sleep!

Tuesday Tips: You should throw away your baby walkers because they are unsafe! They might seem like harmless fun, but they cause lots of accidents and injuries, such as burns, broken bones, and head injuries. And they don’t help your baby learn to walk any faster. They can even delay your child’s walking! Safer alternatives are stationary activity centers, high chairs, or playpens. You can read this article for more information:
