Let’s face it– even mamis need a day off and nothing is better than decompressing with your girls! Take her out to lunch, go for a walk along the beach, or even plan a night out for a special dinner; the goal is to ease her mind and have fun. Bestie tip?

Asking for help isn’t always easy, especially when mamás are expected to do it all. Remind your amiga she has a community to rely on by being proactive and offering to pick up the kids after-school, helping with homework time, and even cleaning up small messes around the home. Bring over your Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes and to help tackle daily household cleanups with ease!

Sometimes mamás just need to vent, and nothing heals the soul more than a chisme session with your bestie! Whether she’s stressed about her work schedule or overwhelmed with the kid’s after-school activities, lending an ear (and the occasional shoulder) to your amiga can give her the opportunity to vent in a safe space.

Community is everything when it comes to raising a child. Being there for your mom friend during back-to-school season can show her you care and build a stronger relationship with her and the family. Remind her she’s doing a great job and keep checking in!
