About the Author: Saren Eyre Loosli

Saren adores her five energetic, adventurous, precocious children but doesn't totally adore the mess and busyness and bickering that that comes with them! She grew up all over the world, went to college and grad school in Boston, ran enrichment programs for kids and then finally found her Mr. Right, Jared. When she's not trying to answer five different needs and questions at once, she works on The Power of Moms, runs some programs at her kids' school and operates a little preschool curriculum company. She currently lives in Ogden, Utah and loves reading, hiking, and biking with her family (or by herself when possible!). She often struggles with balance but finds joy in being involved in many things that are meaningful to her.

Oliver’s nodding in agreement just cracked me up! So cute! But to add an idea that has been working for me: I have 3 children, ages 6, 3, and 1. I have found that it works really well to take my little umbrella stroller and put my 1 year old in it. I have my six year old push the stroller and I put my 3 year old in the cart. It helps by giving my oldest a job to occupy him and it also gives me fewer mobile bodies to wander off. When my three year old is contained in the cart, and my oldest pushes the stroller right by me, my trips have gone MUCH better!

I love this! Your kids are darling, the nodding, the “potty dance”, so cute. Great ideas too. I always try to “set my kids up for success” before each situation. Those ten seconds are worth every minute inside a store or new environment.
