"When faced with difficulties, I take a break. Even if it was to shower by myself, get the mail, or even hide in the closet, I would give myself 5 minutes to just breathe and regroup."

A new baby, another experience, and life seems to be so different now. There will be surprises and unexpected twists. You’ll come to see that what worked for others may not work for you. So, to prepare for this exciting journey of parenting, we have a checklist of the basics for a newborn! Consider this your guide. 

As the number of positive cases of COVID-19 continues to fall, and more people have access to adequate healthcare and the vaccine, it might be time for your family to resume many of the activities that have been put on hold for the past year. Bridging the transition from home life to social activities will be an adjustment for everyone, but it might be a particularly challenging one for kids.

We all have to deal with some level of accepting advice about parenting we can't take due to various reasons. Our society tethers often between polarities when it comes to certain parenting choices.

"Taking it one day at a time and one moment at a time is all we can really do. Some days are harder than others but you are always doing your best and that’s all you can do."

"Being a new mother was never meant to be done alone, like they say it takes a village to raise a child. And yet here we are, in a pandemic of isolation and distance, with no choice but to do it by ourselves."

You make it hard to have a child. You show up with all these preconceived notions at every angle of the process. I'm simply confused, society. What do you want from us as parents?

Your baby’s first birthday is a momentous occasion, so be sure to celebrate with a creative and fun party theme! No matter what your baby’s personality and interests are, there’s sure to be a first birthday theme that suits her perfectly! 

"Figure out early on what will make your life easier as a parent; organization, routine, certain products, etc. Parenting is hard... Do yourself a favor and don’t make it any harder than it needs to be!"

We all parent as couples differently. There is no perfect way, but there are areas we can all brush up on to improve our chances of being more holistic-minded partners and therefore, parents.

"Not all kids are the same. We shouldn't try to expect them to all develop the same way or at the same time. We shouldn't put so much pressure on ourselves to be the perfect parent."

It’s no secret that we are living in a worrying, stressful, and confusing time. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has shaken the world and changed pretty much everything, piling a lot of stress and pressure on new moms and their families.
