During my almost 2 years of this motherhood gig I’ve picked up a few little tricks along the way. I don’t think I’ll ever be considered a “super mom” but who needs that title anyway?
Here are my top 5 super mom smart mom tips for keeping your sanity.
{one} Buy baby essentials, especially diapers, online. Having a big old box of diapers and wipes show up on your doorstop is a total time (and money) saver. There is nothing worse than having to run to the store with a toddler who is on the verge of either a) a meltdown or b) a blowout because he’s wearing the very last diaper in the house. Not that this has happened to me or anything. Ahem. We use diapers.com and are in love with the 24/7 customer service and fast shipping! Click here for $12 off your first diapers.com purchase of a Huggies diaper case and use the code WOWHUGGIES at checkout. You can also get free shipping on your order of $49 or more. (offer only available to new diapers.com members)
{two} Hide the veggies. Hudson drinks a fruit and spinach/kale smoothie every single morning…and sometimes after dinner too. He has no idea I through all kinds of veggies and flax seed in those bad boys because they taste so good. My husband and I drink one every morning too…does the body good. I also stick shredded carrots or zucchini in most of our meals too….and my boys never know the difference!
{three} Repeat after me: Always keep wipes handy. These babies work miracles and can take off makeup, clean up a spill, clean tables at restaurants, wipe boogers…you name it. Bonus points if your wipes match your outfit and are as cute as mine.
{four} Have cars, will travel. This is my Hudson’s new favorite purse accessory. This toy car carrier has been a major lifesaver. Now I always have 4 cars (and a road!) in my purse should a certain little boy get antsy. Hudson LOVES his cars and loves that mama always has them ready for him when we are out and about.
{five} Let it go. Your kid wants to eat his snack on top of the coffee table? Let it go. He wants to wear pajama pants to Costco? Let it go. Rainboots when it’s 95 degrees outside? Sure, why not. Motherhood is all about picking your battles. Pick what’s most important to you and let the rest go.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while now you know that we love us some Huggies diapers! So much so that I’m going to give one of you lucky readers a box of whatever size diapers your little one wears…delivered straight to your doorstop! (U.S. residents only please)

Thank you Huggies for sponsoring today’s discussion. All opinions are my own. Giveaway sponsored by me.
Totally agree with your tips in this post! Especially sneaking in veggies via smoothies and picking your battles!
Would love to win some diapers! I currently have 3 in diapers (a 3yo who has no interest in potty training and 13.5 mo twins!). Size 3 or 5 of the Lil Movers would be great!
Huggies Snug and Dry all the way!! I would choose the economy pack in size 4. My little guy will be in those for awhile.
Diaper delivery ALL THE WAY!
I just picked up that wipes clutch at Target this week and LOVE it! Before then I was carrying around a large heavy refill pack like an amateur.
Huggies Pure and Natural size 5. You always have the best giveaways! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome giveaway. We go through diapers SO fast in our house. I'd probably pick the huggies snug and dry in a size 2.
We're big fans of the Huggies Snug & Dry and we just moved up to a size 5!
I love Huggies Swaddlers. They hug my tiny size 1 girl's bum.
Total fist bump for #5! I could not agree more — sometimes it is just NOT worth the tantrum. And I absolutely always always always prefer to buy diapers and wipes in bulk!
Pure and Natural in size 3 please!
Such good tips, you are an amazing mommy to Hudson! That pic of him in the diapers is hilarious..love his chunky thighs 🙂
We are expecting our first this December. I'd love to get the Huggies Pure & Natural for our newborn!

well, even though i'm not due until december my Mom said I should start stocking up on diapers now…which I think is insane but she would know 😉
since i'm a diaper newbie I have no idea, but I like the idea of the pure and natural for size 1 (I assume that's infant?)
I don't have my own little one yet, but with babies being born in the family CONSTANTLY I'd probably buy some of the pure and natural, size 1, which would hopefully make a great gift for a mom-to-be! 🙂
I would love to give a box of size 5 slip on Huggies to my sweet sister in law and baby nephew who is always on the GO!!

We like the Huggies little Snugglers size 2! This have worked great for my little guy in newborn and size 1 so I can only imagine they would work great in size 2! 🙂
yes i agree on the let it go, that was the hardest lesson for me to learn and i am still learning it on a daily basis but i can't do everything and it would be exhausting to do everything. and wipes yes always have wipes. i was on a plane once with caleb and had just cleaned up him after a blow out and the guy in my row slipped coffee on himself so of course i offered him a handy they come in handy for babies and slipped coffee!
pure and natural size 3 🙂
