Mommy Moments

In today’s digital age, it can be challenging for parents to decide when and what type of phone to give their children. With concerns about online safety, screen time, and the right balance between independence and supervision, choosing the best cell phone for kids is no small task.

If you’re a working parent or a stay at home parent who now also has teacher duties, I bet you’re feeling strapped for time, likely low on energy, and generally like you don’t have enough me-time. Can you relate? My kids are distance learning this school year.

Fall is one of the busiest times of the year. School is back in session and the holidays are right around the corner. You’re likely already juggling many kid activities, your work, and everything else you need to get done each day.

Despite our best efforts, our son is a super picky eater. He has been since he was an infant. He didn’t even want to eat solid foods for the longest time. I really thought being a picky eater was a phase, but my son has taught me some people are just pickier eaters from birth.

A few years ago, I was at the Dr. and I complained of being overly tired. Tiredness can come from a lot of causes, especially being a new mom. Despite my less than useful description of symptoms, the Dr. tested me for a few things I wasn’t expecting.

These thoughts swam through my mind as I prepared for my first Meetup in December 2012, a month after my first daughter was born. As the first of my friends to have a child, I was determined to make “mommy pals” who had kids the same age as my daughter.

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and I’m really starting to feel it physically. Chasing around a newly walking 14 month old has preoccupied me to the point where I haven’t had much time to think about welcoming a second child in the next month or two. Somehow though, my husband and I are not that worried.

Tomorrow is Rocco’s first birthday. We are keeping it cozy and intimate because we are in the middle of yet another move.
