There’s something so special about the milestones that shift the way your day-to-day life flows as a parent. I remember the season of constant babywearing and literally bouncing between the counter and the stove, trying to make dinner while keeping my baby close. And then came the high chair phase, where my babies could sit […]

If you’re anything like me, maybe your days are a constant shuffle of meetings, toddler snack requests, school events, and that one errand you keep putting off. Finding time to breathe, let alone feel productive, can feel impossible some days. And that, fellow mamas, is where Motion comes in. It’s an AI productivity and task […]

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 […]

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, […]

Not ready to stop your concert-going adventures after having a baby? I’ve seen my fair share of babies at Outside Lands, and I applaud you for not letting a baby limit your fun outings! When it comes to keeping your little one calm in loud situations, like concerts, sporting events or festivals, one of the […]

An honest mom’s review of kids multivitamin showdown: Hiya vs. Olly I try my best to be that parent who serves my child healthy food. But let’s be honest here… as a full time working mom I can’t always do it all (although weekly meal prep certainly helps), and sometimes macaroni and cheese, fish sticks, […]

The yogurt melts showdown Introducing solids is a lot of work (here are some tips from a pediatrician). Between preparing food, feeding and cleaning up, your time spent for mealtime increases exponentially (both Ready, Set, Food! and Nurture Life can seriously help here). Of course I was so excited when Willow started to master the […]

I’ve been a loyal fan of Coterie diapers for a while now (read my full review here). But with so much buzz around Coterie vs. Millie Moon (a Strategist article caught the attention of many parents claiming this Target diaper brand is a Coterie dupe at a lower price point), I wanted to see if […]

Which high chair doesn’t sacrifice form for function? I put them to the test. One of my biggest concerns as a first-time-mom: my beautiful, curated, clean and organized home becoming a chaotic frenzy filled with unnecessary, and worse, ugly, baby products. So as with everything (including my deep dives on non-toxic baby shampoo, wipes, detergent—you […]

If there’s one question that keeps popping up amidst my circle of expecting friends, it’s this: “Do you really like your Lalo High Chair?” And let me tell you, my response is always a resounding yes. Here’s the thing: a high chair isn’t just another baby product. It’s a piece of functional decor that’s going […]

I was told before having my first baby that you need to be cautious about using a pacifier too early to avoid nipple confusion. So I researched to understand what the best pacifiers for best breastfed babies really means. Personally, I never had a nipple confusion issue with either of my kids and honestly don’t […]

Oh that journey home from the hospital with your new baby is so emotional: exciting and terrifying all at the same time. Choosing the best going home outfit as a new mom is a necessary step in packing your hospital bag. You’ve just accomplished something extraordinary, and your go home outfit should make you feel […]

If you’ve been following me for a while, it’s no secret that my family really values a good, home-cooked meal. So as you’re preparing for those chaotic days and weeks with a newborn, I highly, highly recommend building up your freezer stash so dinner doesn’t become a stressful topic. Freezer meals prepped before the baby […]

No fluff—just the actual ways to use ChatGPT daily to save 20+ hours a week as a working mom. In this Toolkit Series episode of The New Modern Mom Podcast, I  dive into the practical use cases of ChatGPT and how working parents can actually use it to reclaim time, reduce mental load, and bring […]

Traveling is a huge priority for my young family. My two kids have already racked up more flights than I ever did as a child, and we’re always planning our next adventure. I get a ton of questions about traveling with babies and toddlers (in particular about staying in a hotel with a baby and […]

I’ll be honest—I don’t use baby lotion every day. More often than not, baby skin doesn’t need it. Their little bodies are designed to regulate moisture pretty well on their own, and overusing lotions can sometimes be more irritating than helpful. But there are moments when a little extra hydration helps—like dry winter months, post-bath […]

Ever walked into Target or Whole Foods thinking you’d just grab a quick baby wash along with the other items on your list and be out in minutes—only to end up standing in the aisle, flipping bottles over, Googling ingredients, and wondering why this has to be so complicated? Same. It’s wild how something as […]

Traveling with kids is no small feat, but it’s something I’m incredibly passionate about. And just because life can get a bit… more (more loving, more messy, more chaotic, more humbling, more intense, more joyful) with kids, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on the adventures you love. It just means leaning into […]

Toddler sleep is one of those things that I feel like doesn’t get talked about enough. Baby sleep? That’s covered—there are endless resources on wake windows, sleep regressions, and the best white noise machines. But toddler sleep? It seems like no one’s really talking a lot about it.  I mean… The stalling tactics. The sudden, […]

However you choose to feed your baby, one thing is for sure—it’s hard work, and it’s super personal. If breastfeeding in any form is on your list—whether exclusive, combo, pumping, or some mix that works for your life—I’m sure you’ve considered a hands-free pump. And honestly? The options just keep getting better. Moms are busy, […]

When I had my first baby, choosing a formula felt overwhelming. I wanted something clean, high-quality, and as close to breast milk as possible—but the best options always seemed to be overseas. That’s changed, thanks to U.S. brands like Bobbie and ByHeart, who’ve raised the bar with thoughtfully made formulas. ByHeart has used whole milk […]

I remember the first time I attempted to swaddle my newborn son. I was sleep-deprived, squinting at a hospital nurse’s impossibly neat wrap job, and wondering how I’d ever recreate it at home. Let’s just say, my early attempts looked more burrito explosion than snug baby cocoon. If you’ve ever wrestled with a swaddle at […]

Let’s talk potty training. Specifically, the infamous 3 day no pants potty training method. If you’ve been deep in diaper duty and dreaming of the day your toddler finally gets the hang of using the toilet, there are so many parents nodding along with you. And I’ve been there, too. Twice, actually. When I first […]

For many, being a mom can feel especially meaningful around Mother’s Day. I know I’m very lucky to be a mama to two amazing little ones and to have a partner who supports me in so many ways. I’m also surrounded by incredible moms—family, friends, neighbors, co-workers—who deserve to feel seen and celebrated, even with […]
