TIPS for the sleepy/sick mom (or dad) to get through the day ✨

Our fam was recently hit by a bad round of bugs 🦠 that knocked out my toddler and me out for about a week!

Aside from upping screen time a bit, here are some games that got us through those long sick days (and let me stay horizontal on the bed or couch so I could rest too!)

✨ SLEEPY MAMA MAKEOVER ✨ This is one of our go-to’s (especially during my pregnancy 🤪) — Grab a bunch of hair bows, makeup, stickers, gems etc…. and let your little one go to town “making you over” while you lay down! Bonus points: they have to try not to “wake up” mom.

✨DOCTOR/VET ✨ Get out all the doctor tools and a bunch of cheap bandaids and pretend to be the patient while your mini doctor takes care of you. My daughter likes putting bandaids all over my body — and I like being able to lay down while she does it! 😂

We also did lots of coloring, Melissa and Doug seek and find sticker books, playdough, reading books, and snuggles.

Thankful everyone is healthy now + sending solidarity to anyone currently under the weather! 💖
