“They are donating a portion of the proceeds from this collaboration to Save the Children, Once Upon a Farm-favorite organization — as well as one of mine —committed to helpinglevel the playing field for and fill the bellies of kids growing up poor in rural America,” Garner notes.

Garner and her family are among the many fans of Little Sleepies' buttery soft Lunaluxe™ bamboo PJs. “Little Sleepies uses the softest fabric currently available on Planet Earth. It is just the right weight, too, not too hot, not too cold,” she shares.
The bright and colorful design was also an important point to the mom, who wanted kids to enjoy the print aside from learning the message behind it.
“What’s more fun than using thesebright, vibrant pajamas to celebrate the farm-fresh goodnessof delicious fruits and veggies? Kids have so much fun pointing to the honeybees and to all of the broccoli. It’s amazing.”
With her own family, which includes sonSamuel, 11, and daughtersSeraphina Rose, 14, andViolet Anne, 17, she’s learned that parents shouldn’t “get hung up on how veggies make their way into your kids.”

“Whatever you do, don’t make dinnertime stressful. Offer a variety and model trying new things—even if you take a bite and don’t like it—trying is the goal. If insisting that your child try something becomes a battle, ignore the entire idea and gently come back to it a few days later.”
Getting kids of all ages to get the sleep they need can be tough, but Garner says “consistency is key when it comes to bedtime.”
“Kids feel safest when there is a routine they can rely on, and believe me, the nights you need to cut something out of theirbedtime ritualto finish more quickly? They smell that a mile away,” the seasoned mom notes. “So keep your pre-bedtime routine manageable.”
