Being a mother isn’t as idyllic as it’s made out to be. There are many sleepless nights followed by days where nothing goes right. But the many more beautiful days, nights, and magical moments with your kids make it all worth it. There’s a saying that kids spell love ‘T-I-M-E’. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mum and homemaker, a work-from-home mom, or a working parent, every mother can use some inspiration when it comes to creating special memories with her children, especially from someone who they can relate to.
Mrs. Shelly Sus is a 30-something stay-at-home mother of two from Ontario, Canada. She shares her journey of being a mama to two little ones on her website, Instagram, and YouTube channel. A self-admitted research fanatic, she shares all her little tips and tricks in easily digestible videos, posts, and blogs.
Speaking as a mom to other moms
You can see the love and care that goes into every single piece of content that Mrs. Shelly Sus creates. You’ll see her share the challenges she faces and her innovative solutions to overcome them. Unlike many influencers, you’ll see that everything is not always pristine – her daughter Luna’s room can look like a tornado hit it, she knows being a full-time mum can lead to neglecting and organizing her pantry for three years, and that its absolutely normal for a mama to spend some time on herself and have pretty nails too.
Organization
Organization! Organization! Organization! The three driving tenets that make parenthood so much saner. Whether you need advice on how to make it easy for your kids to access their favourite books, or tips on how to sort out your linen closet, Mrs. Shelly Sus has a wealth of information and easy DIY hacks that help you tackle those niggling issues, one mess at a time. She also has a playlist dedicated to helping you declutter your home so you have some breathing space.
Hauls
Whether you like it or not, shopping is a big part of every homemaker’s life – whether you’re planning a grocery shop and meals for a weekend, putting together an Easter basket for toddlers that doesn’t include a sugar rush, or buying seasonal clothing for your little ones. Her hauls playlist is full of useful items and ideas that don’t break the bank. You’ll be surprised at the awesome stuff you can pick up at the Dollarama.
Food
When you have growing children, food is a priority. You want your kids to start eating a varied diet, learn to enjoy different foods, and, at the same time, not get bored cooking the same things over and over again. Mrs. Shelly Sus has some real-world advice for parents who are trying to get their toddlers to eat everything, meal planning tips for the entire family, recipe links, and some great healthy meal ideas for kids.
Activities
Keeping your kids entertained without switching on a screen is so important to their development. It’s easy to run out of ideas for activities to keep them busy everyday. Mrs. Shelly Sus has a whole bunch of ideas on different indoor and outdoor activities that help kids learn and have fun doing it. Having new things to do and explore keeps things interesting for the adults involved too. After all, there are only so many block towers you can build together before it gets tempting to switch the telly on!
You’ll find plenty of inspiration when it comes to sensory play, learning tools, and crafting for both kids and moms (or dads!) to enjoy together.
Hosting
Mrs. Shelly Sus knows that hosting friends and family can get hectic when you have little ones to keep an eye on. She also knows how important it is to have some grown up fun too! You’ll find a ton of ideas for different social gatherings – from hosting a Mother’s Day Brunch to mixing a mean cocktail (she used to be a bartender, so you want to check these out!). Don’t worry, she has a lot of great ideas for hosting a kid’s party too.
As a mom looking out for other moms, she also has special discount codes for you to use along with some cool stuff on her Amazon storefront for the entire family.
Every child needs a village, and every mom needs a best friend in that same village she can turn to whenever she needs to. Mrs. Shelly Sus should be part of yours. Subscribe to her YouTube Channel and Newsletter to stay on top of your mom game today!
