So many mamas ask me “how do you get your toddlers to brush their teeth?” I’m excited to tell you some tips and ideas that I have, but also some of the incredible ideas you shared with…
I remember the questions I’d get while pregnant for the first time. Are you breastfeeding or bottle-feeding? Will you have a natural labor or epidural? Are you going back to work or are you staying at home with the baby?
