Halloween was always my favorite holiday because I’m a total sugar addict. Pillowcases full of candy, mountains of brightly-colored plastic wrappers, the crinkly sound of swimming my hands around in the sea of sugar… Fond memories! I remember my parents trying to moderate the amount of candy I could eat each day. They tried to hide the pillowcase with candy on the top shelf of our linen closet. I must have been around 5 years old. I would wait until they weren’t looking and climb to the top of the closet, bring the bag down, scarf down a few pieces, and then... PUT IT BACK.

We're celebrating Kids Eat Right Month with these alternative ways of eating our baby food! Mamas and papas of picky eaters, we know how hard it is sometimes to get your kiddos to eat their veggies or finish all the meat on their plates. Here are some alternative ways of using our baby food so that you can easily add more nutrients into their everyday dishes.

Kristen, our community manager and one of the mamas who donated milk for Della, is still breastfeeding her daughter who is over two now. Serenity Carr sat down with Kristen to learn more about her breastfeeding journey and how to navigate breastfeeding a toddler. 

 

By now, you’ve been through the Oh-Shit-I’m-Pregnant stage and now are rapidly moving towards the day that will radically change your life. You’re probably thinking a lot about how to spend these last weeks, how your delivery will go, and what life will be like afterwards. I had my daughter 16 months ago via unplanned c-section. I did some stuff right and some stuff wrong. I’ll tell you what worked well and what I would change next time (shhh… don’t tell my husband I said anything about having baby #2). 

Breastfeeding is hard. Serenity struggled with it quite a bit due to nipple pain caused by Raynaud's Syndrome. Here are some tips and hacks that she's come up with to help make things a little bit easier. 

As George Floyd struggled with his last breaths, he called for his mama. For the person who would protect him, save him, love him. Mamas, that’s our job! We may not know what it’s like to lose our own child to racist violence, but those losses are grieved by mothers everywhere. We will stand together and dismantle the systems that hurt the children of humanity. And we will raise our babies to continue that work.

Parenting is HARD! We are so grateful for any products or little tricks that make it just slightly easier. We've complied them here to share with others. We hope these "parent hacks" will help save you some time and energy, so you can enjoy your little one even more!

When Della was born, all of Serenity’s attention rightfully went to the baby, and I discovered how much emotional and practical support I had grown dependent on. It’s hard to admit, but on an unconscious level I still want someone to take care of me. Now suddenly my wife has an actual child to raise, and any parental-like support I used to receive went to Della. I had to step up to not only parent my new child, but also to parent my inner child. 

Potty training is hard, and boy did we mess it up! After two weeks of chasing around a naked baby and cleaning up mess after mess, it finally leveled out to something more manageable. In this video, we share some of the major mistakes we made and how you can avoid them!
