Hey Freshies, do you dare to share? Apparently when it comes to mom secrets you do, and so do we. We’re pretty excited, and obsessed, about our newest venture into selling our designs on Etsy, so be sure to check out our store, which is obviously linked below. Anyway, mom secrets, mom hacks, whatever you want to call it, I think it’s safe to say we all have a few tricks up our mom sleeve. As we navigate through motherhood there are just some things you learn with experience, one of those things is that kids make the perfect excuse. Excuse for what you may ask? We’ll share more about that, I promise. We’re also digging through our box of mom tools for our favorite ones, and sharing how and when to use them. Sometimes it’s a matter of survival, and sometimes it’s just a matter of, I need to get this house cleaned up before I explode so go take a bath and watch a movie. 

As we always say, sharing is caring (when asked), so please share your thoughts on the following:

Do you keep secrets from your kids?

Have you ever been caught keeping one?

What’s your favorite mom hack?

Share a mom secret!

Hey Freshies! We’re back, and no one is more excited than we are.  Sometimes motherhood is about surviving, not thriving because motherhood is messy, physically and metaphorically.  Whether you’re facing the day to day challenges of just trying to enjoy a moment to yourself, or accomplishing activities with the kids, it all comes back to messy motherhood. We asked you, our community of Freshies to share some of your go to tips for when you feel overwhelmed and you delivered! Our conclusion, moms are just overwhelmed, over tired, and under paid…those are the perks, that’s what ya get ha. Ok ok theres many other wonderful things, of course but the reality is, motherhood is hard, and that is OKAY. We’re in this together mama, we’ve got you.

Share with us below your thoughts on the following:

Do you use outside care such as babysitters? Why or Why not?

Do you struggle with mom guilt?
 
Do you think dads suffer with dad guilt? Is that even a thing?

Lastly, share your favorite TikTok dances for us to try!

Hey Freshies, to have or not to have, that is the question. We’re breaking down the 60+ items listed as must haves for moms and babies. Do you really need a bath thermometer? or bottle warmer? or is this all just a marketing ploy to get vulnerable women to buy things they think they need to survive new motherhood? As a couple of seasoned moms, who have tried their fair share of gizmos and gadgets, we’re letting you know if they’re worth the buy. 

We’ll also discuss some the worst advice we’ve been given as pregnant women, as new moms and even now. Do you have any to add to the list? 

Lastly, did you catch our big news? Are you as excited as we are?

Hey Freshies, Have you ever noticed how often kids are generalized by their gender? It is quite literally everywhere if you take a look around you. It’s in the clothes they wear, the toys they play with, the length of their hair, the list is never-ending. Is this something you feel is prevalent or has happened to your child or even yourself? Let’s discuss why society feels the need to gender generalize everything our kids do and is it healthy? What’s the harm in your daughter wearing dinosaur shirts and your son wearing heart pants? Tune in to hear more.

Hey Freshies, With access to more information than ever before it is an understatement to say that we parent kids vastly different today than parents did in the past(not having car seats and drinking out of garden hoses for those Gen X’ers tuning in). But because of technology it is not as simple as just turning off the TV and telling the kids to be outside since now the TV can go with them in their pockets and free range parenting can get child services called on you. So what are the current parenting trends that can help you shift your conversations from “no screen time” to “making your screen time count”.
