✨New Post: Why It's Time To Retire the Term "Super Mom" ✨ Can we all just agree to collectively stop using this? 🙏Every time we hear it we cringe a little. 😬 It's no coincidence we're hearing it more than more than ever, during a pandemic that has disproportionately affected moms. 🤔

First of all, *every* mom is a Super Mom-period. 💪 Secondly, it's giving everyone from employers to co-parents an easy out instead of prompting them to offer help. And third, it sets an impossible bar. 🙄

Head to the link in bio ☝️for more—and why we're calling on all moms to ask for help and take a break before we break. ❤️

Pandemic or not, there are few bigger items on our list of “mom worries” than drowning. 🏊‍♀️ And with good reason – it’s the leading cause of accidental deaths in kids ages 1 to 4. But there are some really simple ways to keep your kids safer. We spoke to Adam Katchmarchi, Ph.D., Executive Director of the @drownalliance, to learn more.

For instance, did you know backyard pools during non-swim times are the biggest risk for younger kids, while open bodies of water are riskier for teens, especially boys? 🌊 Or that “swimmies” can actually increase the risk of drowning-if kids get too used to them (hint: remember to practice without the flotation devices!). Link in bio 👆 for more info on this important topic.
