Parenting little kids is hard. It’s also wonderful, but it’s definitely hard. There’s for sure no role quite like it. Nothing compares to the responsibility of raising tiny humans.

No one is doing it all, especially not alone. In this episode of the Toolkit Series from The New Modern Mom Podcast, I […]

Life with kids is all the things… joyful, exhausting, heart-expanding, nonstop. And yes, it’s typically a full blown logistical marathon. Between school drop-offs, snack prep, work meetings, laundry mountains, and trying to remember if you RSVP’d to that birthday party, there’s hardly time to think, let alone streamline your day.

And then there are the sanity-saving outings like breakfast with a friend, a drive to the park, a quick trip to the beach for some fresh air, or […]

I’ve hosted a few au pairs over the years, and it’s been an incredible experience. Having live-in help that truly becomes part of your family, plus the added layer of cultural exchange, is something I wouldn’t trade. But I’ve also had a nanny, a house manager, and even summer child care while traveling abroad with […]

There’s something so special about the milestones that shift the way your day-to-day life flows as a parent.

When I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I spent hours (okay, maybe days) scrolling through Pinterest boards and saved Instagram posts trying to find a unique pregnancy announcement idea. With baby number two, I still wanted a cute idea to announce pregnancy. Something that was meaningful for our new addition, but […]

There’s something so great about that first real stretch of summer. Longer days, warmer breezes, and the sense that life is meant to slow down just a little. But if you’re a nursing mom, summer also means figuring out feedings on the go, balancing comfort with confidence, and figuring out how to dress for both […]

As a mom of two and a business owner, I get it, figuring out childcare can feel like one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. There are so many different ways to approach it, and at the end of the day, the most important thing is finding what works for your family. If you’re here, […]
