Hayley Hubbard, mom to three, and wife to a country music star, and Jessica Diamond, registered dietitian nutritionist and mom to one are here to make parenthood a little easier and a lot less lonely. 
 
Parenting is hard. And the thousands of decisions we’re forced to make everyday can feel daunting. Should I listen to my pediatrician, my mother, this website? Will other moms judge me for doing it this way? While we’ve never had access to so much information, it’s never been harder to find the simple, practical knowledge and vulnerable real life experiences we need to feel confident in the choices we make as parents. Every Monday, we break it down, sharing the real side of parenting through simple expert information and candid, personal experiences, because when you remove the doubt, fear, and stress from everyday parenting decisions, you create more time for the meaning full moments. It takes a village we’re so excited to share ours with you.
