In the best of times, making room for yourself in your schedule as a new parent is difficult.

However, it is definitely important for you and your mental health to take time for yourself. Here are some self care ideas for moms and parents that can be a good springboard for other ways you can nurture your spirit and body.

Crafts to do with Your Toddler

I can’t tell you how many times I have parents say they would love to do crafts with their little one but don’t feel they are old enough. I always respond the same way…it simply isn’t so. Crafts offer your child an opportunity to work on their gross and fine motor skills, hone in on their creativity, and take ownership of something they created. It is a win all around and I cringe when parents/ caregivers feel it is too messy or too much work. It offers so many skills that they just can’t get from anything else at that toddler age.
