For many families, the first baby is a Fur Baby — that loveable cat or dog that was your first child. Having a pet in the family can be a wonderful experience, especially for children. It teaches them love, caring, responsibility and they have a cuddly, cute housemate. However, while we may treat our pets […]

Being a working mom was never part of the plan for my family. When my husband and I decided to have kids, we both agreed that I would put my career on hold. I wanted to focus solely on our children. It was important to both of us. And, frankly, I was relieved to be […]

Every day when I was little, my parents recorded Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood on a VHS tape so I could watch the episode after school. Today, my son loves watching Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. Turns out, Mr. Rogers is still speaking to me, and I believe he has been speaking to all of us all along. Sure, […]

Connecting with young children during mealtimes is critical for healthy social and emotional development. The act of sitting together around a dinner table, sharing a meal and discussing your day is a comforting ritual to introduce to your children from a young age. This time allows you to check in with your partner and children […]

Do any of these comments about parenting in the digital age sound familiar to you? “Parents aren’t parenting their kids anymore.” “Millennial parents just give their kids their phones to play on.” “When I was a kid, I played outside.” There is a growing degree of finger pointing on the very sensitive topic of parenting […]

By Hanna Nakano Finally, technology has caught up with our on-the-go lives. In the most meaningful improvement to the electric breast pump since its invention, Willow has created a wireless, wearable pump that is silent, discreet and pretty close to magic. Too good to be true? Nope — the Willow Breast Pump does exist, but […]

As a parent of twins, you know that just because your duo share a birthday and a very special, unique “twin bond” doesn’t mean they are exactly the same. Just like any other set of siblings, twins will have their similarities and their differences. They may like the same activities, or they may have different […]

I learned very quickly after having my first child that there’s no controlling who your kid will be. This means instead of molding my son to be a pink-wearing-doll-playing feminist, Dylan was born ready to roll in mud, decapitate barbies, and practice sexism. Apparently, all claims I made about how I’d raise “my child,” were […]
