What do you find most challenging about being somebody's parent? To love myself more inside and outside, to embrace my strawberry blonde hair instead of dying it to "blend", to embrace my shape and not try to be skinny like other girls. What do you wish you could've told yourself when you were a teenager? We are still best friends and love to hang out, take walks together, scheme and dream together- despite the exhaustion! We make time every evening to hang out together. How has your relationship with your other half changed since having kids? How do you stay connected? once your house rules are established, keep strong and consistent, kids need structure although they will not agree they do! You have kids from ages 10-23-what is the best advice you have for moms with toddler, moms with middle schoolers, and moms with high schoolers?Ĭonsistency is king. Embrace every moment that is about to happen I wish I had known how fast time flies, and to embrace and enjoy the moments and stages more - even though they can be difficult. What is something you wish you had known before having kids? I am sure to meditate daily, even if it is only 5 minutes and do Yoga as much as i can! I love Netflix bingeing with my husband and kids! We are currently bingeing Stranger Things and The Good Place. ![]() How do you unwind and what does self care look like for you? 10 years later, the Woombie brand is stronger than ever and continues to offer new styles and designs each season as parents continue to vote Woombie as the number one trusted baby swaddle.Ĭurrently it is The Divine Matrix by Greg Braden Our little preemie had a super startle reflex and mighty mouse strength so she needed to be swaddled – but she kept busting out of the swaddle and waking up EVERY 15 minutes. After 2 weeks of no sleep, exhausted and determined, I took out my grandmother’s sewing machine in the middle of one sleepless night and invented my own product, the Woombie! The Woombie has now made over a million parents and babies extremely happy by providing them with much needed sleep. Years ago when my baby was faced with a dangerous sleep situation, I searched the market for something “different” than the typical square swaddle blanket- and found nothing. We tried every solution on the market and we kept finding our little baby girl with the swaddle unraveled and up over her face making her red and hot – scary to say the least. RN for 24 years, Certified Infant Care Specialist and Instructor, Inventor/Product Designer of Woombie Raised in Connecticut, but relocated to Milton, GA in 2015, North of Atlanta We used the Woombie with our last 3 children This prompted me to find a better swaddle, however, after trying several i realized there were issues with all of them that made them either unsafe or difficult to use.ĭid you use the Woombie with all of your kids? Our third daughter Bella experienced a dangerous sleep situation at 3 months old, when she repeatedly kicked out of her square hospital swaddle blanket and brought the blanket up and over her face. ![]() Tell us a little bit about your journey and how you've come to arrive here.
