Seasons in Parenting is here to help new parents navigate each season of parenthood while having fun and reducing stress.
I actually love doing research for all things baby and child related. Seasons in Parenthood is giving me a place where I can share that research and my own hands-on experience with other new parents just starting out. I want to make your life and your parenting journey just a little easier.
So how I am going to help you navigate parenthood?
1. Give new parents helpful information as they begin on this exciting journey
If you’re here cause you’ve either just had a baby or you’re expecting. Congratulations!! You are joining millions of parents who have taken on this exciting new role. Do you feel totally unprepared? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I want to share with you all the information I’ve gained during my journey – everything from pregnancy and labor, postpartum and breastfeeding, going back to work or spending your days at home, and all those early days and months with your little one. We’re all in this journey together, and it really does take a village. Welcome! It will be the greatest thing you’ve ever done.
2. Help busy parents navigate home life
There are so many new situations that arise once you bring that little one home. And while you may have had things totally under control before your new title as parent, even the simplest, mundane tasks are now a challenge. How long did it take you to leave the house the first time with your little one? Did you remember the diaper bag, the bottles, an extra change of clothes (for the baby and you)? And after you packed all their stuff, I bet you had to make one last run to the bathroom.
Not only do I want to help you just get out the door easier, but I want to help with those more difficult issues – budgeting, cleaning, organization – and the fun ones as well – crafts, holidays, photos, parties, travel.
3. Recommend travel destinations for kids and couples
I love to travel. I’ve always loved it. My husband loves it as well, and we’ve taken many trips together, pre-baby (and pre-pandemic). Now we want to share the world with our little one. However, not all travel destinations are created equal once you become a party of 3 (or more). I want to give you the best recommendations for getting out there with your little ones. And we don’t want to forget about those ever-important date nights for mom and dad, so I want to share options for romantic getaways for you as well.
Being from Southwestern PA, I plan to give more local travel information as well. So, if you’re from PA, WV, MD or OH, or if you’re just passing through, I want to give you some ideas for what there is to do in and around our great state.
4. Help moms discover ways to reduce stress
You hear it everywhere, don’t forget to practice self-care. What does that even look like after breastfeeding, diapers, bath time, and the dreaded bedtime routine? I want to provide you with the tools needed to not just get through motherhood but to thrive in it.
I want to share my tips in time management, so you can make the most of the time you spend with your kids and husband and offer motivation when things get hard. We can’t support our families, if we don’t support ourselves first.
5. Support parents on their journey
I don’t know everything there is to know about parenthood. I haven’t experienced all of parenthood, yet. But the more I learn and experience in my own journey, the more I will share with you. With tips and tricks for every season of parenthood and ideas to better yourself along the way, I’m here to give you the support you need.
Conclusion
Does everything you read above seem like a lot of information to cover? Don’t worry. I want to help you as best as I can, as consistently as I can. So, I plan to give you weekly information. Every topic might not be something that applies to you specifically but I’m always eager to hear about the problems you are currently experiencing.
