Disclosure: I received the to Hallmark and Johnson’s Good-Night Kisses Baby Gift Set to give away. It is my honor to share news with you from a company that I enjoy and support! #LoveHallmark

Our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) table has been blessed with three new babies! One of my favorite things about this group, is that everyone makes an effort to really help out when baby comes home. I know it can be an overwhelming transition whether it is your first baby or your fifth baby. Every extra little bit of help is a Godsend!

Sometimes the hardest thing can be figuring out how to help. You might ask, “Hey, what can I do?” And you are usually given an answer that sounds something like, “Oh, we are fine!”. But you know… you KNOW that they could use a little help. You’ve been there and you remember being so thankful for anyone that took that step and helped in a tangible way.

I’d love to share with you a few practical tips of how to help out the sleepy, sweet mama.

Our table helps out by coordinating meals for the first few weeks after baby is home from the hospital. We use an online program that everyone can log in to and sign up for the meal they would like to bring. You can pick the date from a list of available dates. The program tells you how many people to cook for, their address, and any allergies or special instructions for the family. It takes all of the guesswork or anxiety out of cooking for someone else. It even sends you a reminder so that you don’t forget to take dinner!

I love to take a little something extra over with dinner. Taking a little gift along with dinner is always a fun surprise! The mama isn’t expecting it and you know she will smile whenever she sees it. It will remind her of a very special time in her life. Bath-time is one of my favorite things to celebrate and the Hallmark and Johnson’s Good-Night Kisses Baby Gift Set is perfect! Did you know that Johnson’s 3-Step Bedtime Routine, is clinically proven to help babies fall asleep up to 30% faster and be 58% less likely to wake up during the night.

It helps you slow down and enjoy those precious moments that will go by so quickly, when we both know there are nights that you just want to put baby to bed and relax. As a mom of a sixteen year old, I can tell you that the cliche is right. Time passes so strangely. It is slow and quick. There are moments you hold your breath and pray for the next hour to pass. And there are moments you look up and realize a beautiful young lady is standing next to you, and you can’t believe that your sweet eighteen years are almost over.

The gift set also includes Hallmark Good-Night Kisses Bedtime Storybook, Johnson’s baby bedtime bath,  Johnson’s baby shampoo calming lavender, and Johnson’s baby bedtime lotion. It smells amazing and is such a perfect bedtime routine all in one.

I was able to gift one of our mamas with this set and she sent me the sweetest picture of Baby Brinlee.

Hallmark would love to give one of you a set! Be sure and enter the giveaway below!
