My kids are pretty good eaters… when they choose to be. Like most kids, they go through phases. Some days they’ll happily eat their veggies, chicken, and whole wheat pasta, and other times we’re stuck in a “beige food” phase with nothing but rice, crackers, and bagels for days. I know how important proper nutrition […]

This post is in partnership with Hiya. I only endorse products I believe in. Every morning, I drink electrolytes before anything else. Before coffee, before breakfast, sometimes even before I check my phone. It’s become a small but powerful ritual that helps me stay energized and clear-headed all day. So naturally, I started wondering: should […]

Motherhood is a journey filled with countless decisions—truly, for me, it even started with what prenatal I should take. And one of the most personal choices you’ll make is crafting your birth plan. TBH I didn’t think this was necessary with my first birth, and waited until 38 weeks to finally search for a simple […]

Choosing the right baby formula can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options out there. Baby formula is your baby’s only source of nutrition for the first 6 months and provides most of their calories during their first year, so it’s safe to say they’ll be drinking a lot of it. But not all baby […]

I try my best to serve healthy, nutritious meals to my children, but let’s be real, it’s a challenge. To be honest, it’s tough. As a full-time working mom, I can’t always juggle everything (even though doing weekly meal prep does make a difference). There are days when the convenience of macaroni and cheese, fish […]

The multiple-times-sold-out No Reception Club Getaway Diaper Bag is coming back in stock, so I’m excited to share my review of this incredible travel diaper bag that’s accompanied our family on over 25 flights. So let’s get to it… Okay real talk about traveling with toddlers. It can be pure chaos, and every little bit […]

At the start of 2023, I made a resolution to stretch every night. I carved out five minutes, set up a little routine, and stuck with it, for about a month. Then life got busy, evenings slipped back into autopilot, and the habit disappeared. When the new year rolled around, I set the exact same […]

When I started supplementing with formula for my daughter, the decision felt overwhelming. I wanted something clean, high-quality, and as close to breast milk as possible, but honestly, three years ago, there just weren’t many baby formula choices that checked all those boxes. Fast forward to today, my sister-in-law just had a baby, and asked […]

Summer used to mean camp spreadsheets, childcare patchwork, and parents squeezing in work whenever possible. It rarely felt like summer, more like survival. In this Toolkit Series episode of the New Modern Mom Podcast, host Barbara Mighdoll returns to one of the most popular topics, how to plan a working family summer abroad. This time, […]

When we decided to get pregnant, I knew I needed to add a prenatal vitamin to my daily routine. I of course turned to Amazon and Target, but with so many options out there, how do you know which prenatal is actually the best and will check all the boxes for mom and baby’s nutritional […]
