How many moms have felt judged or degraded for a parenting choice? Let's work together to stop the mom shaming. mom-shaming. #momshaming #uniteinmotherhood

The internet has made so many things in our lives easier. We have the ability to communicate and find information in an instant. We can share our lives with not only our loved ones, but with other people (other moms!) that we have something in common with anywhere in the world.

It’s something that we talk about often. It’s something that we are quick to jump on someone for. It’s something that we do all the time. I think we can all agree that it is something that needs to stop. How do we work together to stop mom shaming?  read more

How to Pack Your Hospital Bag (Without Overpacking)

Posted on by
Getting ready for baby is exciting and overwhelming! Use this simple hospital bag checklist to make packing for labor ad delivery simple. #laboranddelivery #hospitalbag #pregnancy

I recently saw a blog post from a very cute, very excited first time mama about what to pack in your hospital bag. I showed the list that she wrote out to my husband, and his reply was “is she going on vacation for two weeks before going home?!” The truth is, you really don’t need much with you at the hospital. In fact, packing less means that you will have less stuff to keep track of, potentially leave behind, and lug around the hospital with you. Between taking care of your new addition and family coming and going, your hospital room may start to feel cluttered and chaotic. The last thing that you want to do is add a mess of personal belongings on top of that. Here is a list of what you really need to take to the hospital with you. Hopefully, it will help you to pack your hospital bag without overpacking. read more

Priority number one for most parents is the health and safety of our children. We work hard to protect our littles ones and keep them safe at all times.
