PopYum: How did you feel the day you became a mom for the first time?
Janie: I felt complete - like everything in my life led to this very moment and it was so worth it. My children are my whole entire world and the day I became a mom was the day my life truly began for me.
PopYum: How did you discover PopYum?
Janie: I found out I’d have to formula feed my second baby so I decided to look into different bottles and found PopYum through a friend. She let me try one of hers and I was hooked! They make life so, so easy- especially for those middle of the night feedings as well as outings!
PopYum: What tips would you give to a first time parent that you wish you knew when you had your first baby?
Janie: My biggest tip is to not expect perfection from yourself. Give yourself grace. You’re learning how to be a mama and you’re doing great.
PopYum: What do you think is the most challenging part of being a mom?
Janie: The most challenging part of being a mom for me is the constant struggle between wanting time for myself and feeling guilty when I get that time. It’s so important to make time for yourself as a mom though.
PopYum: What’s your favorite thing about PopYum?
Janie: My favorite thing about PopYum is how easy it makes night time feedings. When the babe wakes up to eat, it’s time to eat NOW! No time to waste.
PopYum: What is your favorite part about becoming a mom?
Janie: My favorite part of being a mom is watching 2 pieces of my heart grow up on the outside. It’s such a rewarding and emotional thing. I love my babies more than life itself and I feel so blessed to be their mommy.
PopYum: Tell us about your baby!
Janie: My little guy using PopYum bottles is 2 months old. His name is Colson! We call him Coco. He is such a sweet baby. He rolls from belly to back already and LOVES tummy time. He is actually our last baby so I’m savoring every moment.
PopYum: Tell us something about you! What do you like to do for fun?
Janie: For fun I enjoy thrift shopping and finding new places to go hiking with the boys! We live close to a big city so there’s always hidden gems thrift and hike wise - I love it.
PopYum: How do you find ‘me-time’ while raising your kids?
Janie: My me-time is going to the gym. I actually work very part time there in the childcare area so I take the kiddos with me. Then I go in the afternoon and leave them in childcare with my coworker friend and go do an exercise class! It’s been a great release for stress and emotions and bettering myself.
PopYum: Do you have any “mom hacks” or cool tips or tricks you’d like to share with the rest of PopYum Nation?
Janie: My biggest mom hack is waking up 30 minutes before the kiddos and drinking a cup of coffee, getting dressed, and just soaking in the silence. It helps me decompress from the day before and sets a good mood for the whole day. When I miss that 30 minutes before they wake up, the whole day feels off kilter!
