Welcome to Adaptive Mom!
To be a mom is to be adaptable.
Here I will share my thoughts, stories, and experiences, as well as, tips and tricks for making the circus we call motherhood a bit simpler.
I am a wife and mom of 2 kids, a cat, a dog, and 2 horses. By degree, I am a speech-language pathologist, but I’m blessed to be a stay at home mom for the time being. I am also a sales executive with Essante Organics and a lactation counselor. I love staying at home with my kiddos while my other activities keep me connected to the outside world. This is how I adapt.
As a mom, you must perfect the fine arts of joint attention, multitasking, juggling, policing, finding the humor in unlikely situations, and staying sane all at the same time. That’s the fun part!
Sometimes life requires a bit more than we readily have to offer so we must adapt. This blog was created to share some of the ideas and solutions that I’ve found to help me survive as an adaptive mom, wife, and “momtrepreneur”.
My goal is to provide readers with humor, tips, tricks, and products to survive in this fast paced world with a little less stress.
Enjoy and thanks for following!
I have a 1 year old who has the habit of scratching also to get my attention. I always have the scratchmenot on her but once i take it off her lil hands are like magnets to her skin. How am i going to deal with this in the summer?? I always have to have her covered from head to toe 🙁 I put Organic unrefined shea butter on her.
One thing I love about ScratchMeNot flip mittens is that they are made of lightweight and breathable bamboo. Have you thought about trying the mittens with a lightweight tank or tee. May be a good compromise for summer heat.
Eczema and other rashes tend to flare with heat. My son scratches most when his body temperature rises, like when he is transitioning to sleep and/or frustrated. These are also the times he wants me most. I end up wearing him a lot just to keep him happy and not rubbing or scratching (he only wears the ScratchMeNot mittens at night.). This summer might be rough on both of us! 😉
Another trick I use is Essante Sanitizer Spray http://www.essanteorganics.com/Replication/Replication.aspx?DomainName=Organics4Life&Action=ValidateDomain&ReturnUrl=http://www.essanteorganics.com/default.aspx?tabid=55&webusercountry=USA&itemcode=030
We spray it directly on any open scratches to prevent infection and speed healing. I use it on everything…from cuts and scrapes to toys and toilets.

We use the lotion and wash exclusively on Chase and it really keeps his cradle cap and eczema at bay.
