TL;DR: As a new mom or a mom of littles, it is hard to focus on ourselves by way of New Year's Resolutions. By setting small goals, there are a few things you can achieve in 2026 to feel accomplished and start the new year off right.
New Years Resolutions Moms Can Achieve
Since you’ve become a Mom, it's highly likely that self-care, hobbies, and your own interests have fallen to the wayside. Dinners with friends have been replaced by living room pajama dance parties, slow mornings curling up with warm coffee have been replaced by early pancake mix messes, and New Year's Resolutions have become harder and harder to accomplish. Luckily, we’ve laid out a few easy things you can check off the list this January to start 2026 off right. Keep reading to learn our productive New Year’s Resolutions that Moms can achieve and the products that will help you the rest of 2026 and more years to come.
Replace Those Nasty Bath Toys
Did you know that bath toys are supposed to be cleaned with vinegar or bleach after every use and replaced every three months at most? Uh oh. Chances are, you are like the rest of us who let them hang out in the bathtub for months on end, getting a little rinse at most if we are feeling productive that day.
A study by ABC News examined various bath toys sent in by parents and found mold and bacteria on 100 percent of them—and many also had traces of fecal matter. (source: ABC News)
Mold and germs on toys can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and other health problems. And while mold affects people of all ages, it can wreak havoc on those with weak immune systems, such as children. (source: The Maids)
Here’s an easy one for 2026: Get a new set of bath toys that are naturally antimicrobial, odor-resistant, and super easy to clean when needed.
Innobaby Silicone Fish Bath Scrub
Made from 100% Silicone, our fun bath scrub is naturally resistant to mold and is even dishwasher safe! After bath time, all you have to do is either hang this fishy to dry or pop it in with the day’s dish load. No more vinegar or bleach or worrying about mold in this house!
The Unique double-sided scrub features shorter strands on one side, great for massaging cradle cap, and longer strands for scrubbing on the reverse. The grow-with-me bath scrub also doubles as a quiet and mess-free fidget toy for kids ages 6 and up.
Innobaby Rainbow Bath Sensory Scrub
With the same naturally anti-microbial properties as our fish scrub, our Rainbow Spots bath toy is the perfect addition to your kiddo’s bath routine!
Your child can count, stack, lather, and even stick their Rainbow Spots to the side of the bathtub or shower door, with no adhesive required! Our product testers loved sticking the flat, soapy side to the tub wall and watching them race to see which one reached the water first!
Best of all, just like the rest of our bath products, this fish is made of silicone and is naturally odor and mildew-resistant. They can be sterilized for a deep cleaning. Each Rainbow Spots comes with 7 brightly colored discs. Use with your favorite body wash to create a soothing lather and a therapeutic massage.
Practice Some Self Care
As a new mom or mom of littles, it can be hard to squeeze in time for self-care. Anytime we have a free moment to ourselves, we want to just sit and relax. Hair appointments and nail salon visits are becoming fewer and farther between, and honestly, when’s the last time you went to a spa and got a massage?
It’s important to fill your cup and find time for yourself, even if it is through little moments like having a luxurious bath or shower.
Innobaby Silicone Massage Mitt
The Innobaby Silicone Massage Mitt was designed to perfectly fit your hand with a thumbhole, just like a mitt. This scrubbie will gently wash up every member of your family—even your dog!—but it's luxurious enough to close your eyes and pretend like you’re having your own spa day.
The double-sided mitt helps scrub away dirt and dead skin while also being gentle enough to use on even the smallest member of your family. Use the side with the smaller bristles to easily lather up your body, then switch to the side with the larger bristles to give yourself a heavenly scalp massage with your favorite shampoo. Sorry, kids, Mama is in the shower!
Get New Mealtime Essentials For Your Picky Eater
If you have a picky eater on your hands or if your toddler is deep in their beige phase, getting them new mealtime essentials can help nudge them to try new food, eat more food, and get excited for mealtime.
