here's the deal, motherhood isn't easy. it comes with all kinds of stresses and pressures and there are so many questions. so. many. questions. today i have put together a post featuring some items that will help make motherhood a little easier for you. it is important to take care of your baby but it is also important to take care of yourself and here are some products that will help with both of those tasks:

taking a prenatal vitamin is important for you and your growing baby but did you know that these vitamins will continue to help you even after the baby is born? the 35+ Mom & Baby Multivitamin is uniquely formulated for those of us who are 'advanced maternal age' - aka 35 years old or older. this complete multivitamin is a food based vitamin for digestion enhancing nourishing superfoods. it is easy to digest and absorb and is the only Pre & Postnatal Multivitamin formulated for the unique nutritional needs of 35+ Moms in just one tablet per day. the best part about it is that it helps soothe nausea and is gentle on your stomach. that is a major win. use discount code 'HappyBaby' for 20 percent savings on Rainbow Light Prenatals and ‘HappyFamily’ for 20% off multivitamins as well at http://www.rainbowlight.com. 

if your kids are anything like mine they experience a lot of fevers the first year of life. my children in particular have super high fevers (we're talking 105 degrees on occasion) and have suffered from febrile seizures. because of this i take their temperature needs VERY serious and this TempTraq® wearable Bluetooth® temperature monitor is a wearable monitor that continuously monitors body temperature. it is a soft, comfortable patch that senses, records and transmits temperature data for up to 24 hours to either an Apple® or Android compatible mobile device through the free TempTraq® app. it will even send you alerts to help you with peace of mind while your children rest. the patch is similar to an adhesive bandage and is simple to apply and remove. get a discount of 10% off when you use code BABBLEBOXX10 when purchasing at https://www.temptraq.com. offer expires October 31, 2016.

if you have had children before then you are probably well acquainted with the brand Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Boudreaux's Original Formula and Maximum Strength Formula are fast acting without harsh ingredients. the products are free from parabens, preservatives, dyes and phthalates and talc. these creams are Pediatrician recommended for diaper rash and help to leave a thick barrier between the diaper and the skin to help protect your baby's skin. the Original Formula contains 16% Zinc Oxide which helps treat skin irritation. the Maximum Strength Formula contains 40% Zinc Oxide for over two times the rash fighting power. these are diaper bag essentials and changing station musts. pick them up from major retailers or visit http://www.buttpaste.com.

Gerber® Onesies® brand one piece underwear helps keep babies covered day and night. i am a onesie addict and you will find my baby wearing them until they are potty trained. i like that their tummies or diapers are not left hanging out of their clothes if their shirts ride up or their pants pull down. these particular onesies are available in short sleeve or long sleeve and they are easy to wash. the snap closures are positioned higher in front to make diaper changing easier and their expandable necklines help make changing a cinch. they are great for layering in summer or winter and come in solid colors or prints. you can order online at www.GerberChildrenswear.com now through October 8th and receive FREE $6 STANDARD SHIPPING on your order. use code BBOXX16FS at checkout to redeem.   

one of my personal favorite items is the FUJIFILM INSTAX Mini 70 Camera. i love capturing images of my children and the ability to immediately see the print in real life, hold it in your hand and not have the hassle of getting a digital printed off is priceless. the INSTAX Mini 70 camera is the latest model to join the 'INSTAX Mini' series of instant cameras that produce credit card sized photos instantly. the camera offers features including selfie mode that automatically adjust settings for perfect selfies using the front facing selfie mirror. this camera model comes in Canary Yellow, Moon White, Island Blue, Passion Red, Midnight Black and Stardust gold. the film is sold separately  in a double pack with 20 exposures. go ahead and photograph your cute baby and get your pictures immediately. you can find out more if you visit the FUJIFILM website here.

last but not least you want to make sure you are taking care of yourself. you can do that by using the illumai biome care system to cleanse, nurture and protect your hair. it is sulfate and silicone free and has no preservatives and leaves your hair feeling soft and well cared for. it is 100% color safe and works with every hair type. this system is so well-designed for new moms, i’ve arranged for 40% off either size for my readers.  just use promo code 44BLUSHINGBASICS at checkout. expires 10/31/2016.
