Get to Know a Mom: Anna Haynes

We love a chance to get to share about these Crossroads moms. This month, Anna Haynes shares with us!
 

Tell us about your family:

Husband: Colin Haynes

Married: 3.5 years

Kiddo: Honora Haynes, 1.5 years


What's your favorite mom tip or hack?

“When in doubt, add water.” When your child is cranky and you’re out of ideas, take a breath, count down from 10, and add water: give kiddo a bath, run water over hands/feet, offer your toddler a drink of water (get one for yourself, if you’re like me, you probably haven’t had any yet), put water in a cookie sheet (outdoors is best) and splash in it. This hasn’t failed me yet.


What is your mom must have?

Munchkin sippy cups. The ones with the weighted straws are fantastic for going out and about because it will work at whatever angle your kiddo holds it. The no spill ones actually don’t spill without concerted effort. 


What's the funniest or strangest thing you carry in your diaper bag?

I carry fairly standard items in our diaper bag, but I guess the most unique item we currently have packed is the book Vamos a Cazar un Oso (We’re Going on a Bear Hunt). It was a childhood favorite of mine, and it is exciting to see Honora enjoy it now.
