Top 3 Mommy Shortcuts That Make My Life Easier

I have a few hacks for keeping day-to-day tasks simple, which leaves me time to enjoy the better things (like catching up on Shameless and American Horror Story -- thank you, shomi!). Check out these tips:

1. I prepare my daughter's breakfast the night before.
I have a four-year-old daughter and a two-month-old son, so mornings are pretty rushed and hazy for me. That said, making my daughter's breakfast the night before, then storing it in the fridge for her to easily reach when she's ready to eat, treats me to a few more minutes of sleep!

2. I make sure all nighttime necessities are by my bedside.
There's a basket full of extra baby sleepers, onesies, pants and shirts on the left side of my bed. Then on the right side, I have water bottles, granola bars, an infant nose aspirator and my breast pump. Screw aesthetics and house tidiness – having nighttime necessities close by keeps me comfortable at night without having to go from room-to-room and my sleep isn't as badly disturbed.

3. I stick with what works for ME, not anyone else.
I am a huge proponent of co-sleeping, however, not all moms I've spoken to agree with me. I'm okay with this, as well as the other baby-related decisions I've made. It took awhile for me to "agree to disagree", but in the end, I have to work with what's best for my situation. So really, it's about being confident in your everyday tasks, which prevents you from stressing out.

  1. I'M NOW FULFILL FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOAN I GOT FROM LFDS .I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how i came in contact with Mr Benjamin after i lost my job and being denied loan by my bank and other financial institution due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then i set out to seek for funds online where i lost $3,670 that i borrowed from friends which i was rip off by two online loan companies. Until i read about:loan online (247officedept@gmail.com) somewhere on the internet, Still wasn't convince because of what i have been through until a relative of mine who is a clergy also told me about the ongoing loan scheme  at a very low interest rate of 1.9%% and lovely repayment terms without penalty for default of payment. I have no choice than to also contact them which i did through text +1-989-394-3740 and Mr Benjamin responded back to me That day was the I'M best and greatest day of my life which can never be forgotten when i receive a credit alert of $400,000.00 Usd loan amount i applied for. I utilized the loan effectively to pay up my debts and to start up a business and today i and my kids are so happy and fulfill. You can as well contact them through email: (247officedept@gmail.com)  WhatsApptext  helpline: +1-989-394-3740 Why am i doing this? I am doing this to save as many that are in need of a loan not to be victim of scams on the internet. Thanks and God bless you all, I'm Oleksander Artem from Horizon Park BC , Ukrain.
