Turn your ‘daily’ shower into an experience

Ever since I became a mom, the ‘daily’ shower has become a bit of an issue. I am lucky when I even get 10 minutes to shower, do my hair, eat breakfast, brush my teeth and get dressed. It is all a part of life as a mom. I have found small ways to make my shower so enjoyable, I look forward to it at the end of the day before bedtime {the only time I have found I can actually take a shower for the full 10 minutes!}.

Today I am sharing my tips with you on how to create a spa-like shower and feel pampered like the super-mom you are.

Managing a Home Disclosures and Policies

I have been doing some giveaways, reviews and affiliate links more recently on the blog, so I wanted to update my disclosure, privacy and comment policies. So in order to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, I felt it important to provide this disclosure policy to you.

As of this date, here are my disclaimers:

1. I won’t make stuff up. I will never review, giveaway or recommend a product to you unless I have used it/touched it/thoroughly enjoyed it first. I will tell you my honest opinion on a product. Also, in the interest of positivity, I will only post it if it is good. Instead of a negative review, I will contact the company’s rep. You will only hear of the good stuff I love.

2. Yes. People give me stuff {including money}. Sometimes I receive free products, services, and other forms of compensation from companies and organizations in exchange for a review or post on my blog. If I am posting about a product it should be assumed I was given one for free, unless otherwise stated. Occasionally I do buy products/services myself and am so thrilled I want you to know about it. The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog.

3. Yes. Some links can make me money. One way I earn income through this site is through commission based on purchases through affiliate linking. Purchases made through affiliate links do not add any cost to you, the consumer. If I link to a product, service or company it should be assumed that it is an affiliate link and I will earn a commission on any purchase you make, unless otherwise stated. I will never link to something that I wouldn't use myself {see #1}.

4. I love to hear your thoughts. I really enjoy hearing from you through my comments, but for everyone to enjoy their experience here please be respectful, keep all comments on topic, and please only link to external sites if they are relevant to the post and your comment. Any comments that don’t live up to this will be deleted, without notice, for any reason – that is my right as owner and writer of this blog.

5. I won’t sell your information. When you give me your information for a giveaway, by joining my subscriber list or for any other reason, rest assured I will not give your information away. That information is used solely to get you the information or product that you requested/won.
We do not store any information about your visit to this blog other than to analyze and optimize your content and reading experience through the use of cookies. You can turn off the use of cookies at anytime by changing your specific browser settings.

6. Give credit where credit is due. All images and text on this site are property of Managing a Home. You may use a photo from this blog as long as a link back to my original post is included. Please do not remove any watermarks, crop or edit any images from this site without first obtaining written permission from me.

We are not responsible for republished content from this blog on other blogs or websites without our permission.

You should know that my loyalty is always with MY READERS.

And I never want you, the reader, to feel like I am selling you a product or service. I want you to feel like a good friend is just letting you know about her experience with a brand or product.

Thank you for reading and supporting this site, without you, there is no blog!

Sincerely,
Stephanie

Must Have Features For a Pack 'n Play

Finding a pack 'n play, or any baby item, for the first time mom can seem like a daunting job. With all of the options available, it is no wonder that we need the full nine months to make a decision!

I was invited to attend an "At Home With Graco" Party in the Philadelphia Area to introduce us to the amazing features of the new Graco® Pack 'n Play® Playard Nearby Napper™. My only wish is that this brand new Graco® Pack 'n Play® Playard Nearby Napper™ was available when my baby was small.

Must Have Features for a Pack 'n Play. Graco Nearby Napper has it all!

Fourteen months ago, we had already chosen a Graco® Pack 'n Play. For us a Graco® Pack 'n Play was a no brainier. The quality of the product was obvious when we were trying them out in the store and we knew almost every one of our friends/relatives/neighbors had a Graco® Pack 'n Play.

What I love about Graco® Pack 'n Plays:

The push button fold makes it so easy to fold up for travel.
The changing station is sturdy and so convenient.

Must Have Features for a Pack 'n Play - Including Sturdy Changing Station. Graco Nearby Napper has it all!

The base pad is comfortable in the full sized bassinet as well as on the base for the playard option.
Vibrating option and the sound machine are great options to have - you never know if your baby will need it.
The colors are just so cute! And who thinks to include a bed skirt on a pack 'n play? Graco®!!

But these new additions make the Graco® choice an even easier one. The Graco® Pack 'n Play® Playard Nearby Napper™ really makes life on mom easier by having so many options in one convenient product. I know in our house, having multi-functional products were essential because of the lack of room that we had to store it all.

What makes the Graco® Pack 'n Play® Playard Nearby Napper™ different?

There is a reversible bassinet in the playard. The flat nest bassinet easily flips to an inclined napper.

Must Have Features for a Pack 'n Play. This reversible bassinet is beyond great! Graco Nearby Napper has it all!

The security on the reversible bassinet is superior. There is actually a lock/lift feature on the product so parents can rest assured that their baby will not accidentally flip over - either by their own force or a big brother or sister trying to rock the baby.

I love the addition of the mobile. It is so nice to have a stimulating option to occupy your baby. {and it's easily removable!} My adorable little photo bomber seemed to like it :)

Must Have Features for a Pack 'n Play. Having a mobile that is easy to remove is super important. Graco Nearby Napper has it all!

The bassinet easily lifts out of the playard so the baby can rock on the floor next to you while you fold laundry, work or even just take a nap.

Even though the bassinet rocks on the floor, there is also a locking mechanism on the bassinet legs to keep it still if you don't want it to rock. Say..your toddler loves to rock the baby.when they are asleep.finally.

Must Have Features for a Pack 'n Play. A locking rocker will come in handy. And safe too! Graco Nearby Napper has it all!

The best part is that it grows with your child so they can use the playard as they get older as a napping place, a play area or just a safe spot in the house.
