Tuesday's Tots and Wee Ones: 2 Under 2 on Maternity Leave

Hi Friends,

How are you today?  Did you read our blog yesterday?  Enjoy your weekend and already looking forward to the next one like us?

This week we are focusing on all things maternity leave aka vacation with Mommy and baby sister, Super Sadie.  If you are on or had maternity leave, how was your experience?  Did you have two under two on maternity leave?  How did that go?  Any tips and tricks?  Mommy said she'll be balancing two, but we all know that I (Mad Max) will be balancing two - Mommy and baby sister!

Mommy and I have received lots of good advice from friends about two under two - anything from how to handle the first few weeks (after a c-section) to how to make sure to spend quality time with the older one ... but we would love to hear your thoughts too!

Mommy and I plan to have pretty structured time (that's how we work best) for Mommy Time - Sadie Time - and Mad Max Time, but that structure will work itself out within the first few weeks.

Most importantly, I am looking forward to helping Mommy, reading to my baby sister ... and Mommy and Me / Daddy and Me time!

See, I'll be a good helper and help Mommy dust.  I love dusting!

Also ... be sure to read about The Mommie Series Giveaway Winner (announced yesterday).  And we have a really great GIVEAWAY planned for this Friday with Whole Foods in celebration of their Whole Trade Month.  How can you help support the great cause of Whole Trade Month?  Be sure to read this link - you can start helping now!  We will have more information about Whole Trade Month and the GIVEAWAY later this week.  Be sure to also stay tuned for our Dewberry Farm blog coming this week.

Enjoy a sneak peek of our partnership with Whole Foods this month below.  We are enjoying and trying out some Whole Trade products.  More photos and information to come soon.

I am enjoying mat leave right now but I do wish it was a wee bit longer!

Mad Max and Family said...

Krystal, hah! Well, I hope your dog grew out of the jealousy. No signs of jealousy yet from Max. But I don't think it's completely set in with him yet. I am loving that he's calling her sissy (ce-ce) which is similar to Sadie and Sister.

Mrs. Pancakes,

How are things for you on maternity leave? I agree... I wish it was longer. I am taking 12 weeks, but it definitely should be longer. I'd say a year long, but I'll take what I can get longer than 12 weeks!
