Not all conversations are easy ones. Discuss modern families, parent separation, sibling rivalry, and how to tell a young child you are pregnant again.

I want to talk about parenting style with my partner, but it's hard!

Hey mama's. I want to talk with my partner about how we're going to be as parents before our little one is born. Of course we've talked about it but I am trying to bring logistics more into focus like splitting up childcare and housework etc. Any suggestions?!

I’m worried because my daughter seems to have some delays, advice?

She’s 2 y.o and has limited communication, does not interact much with other children, and takes part in minimal play. I know she needs to be evaluated but I’m trying to prepare myself. Can other mamas share some of their experiences?

When will I start to feel like myself again?

So, the baby is now 3 months old and my partner is back at work full-time. Now that I’m by myself with her, I am noticing how I still really don’t feel like myself. Is this normal? When will I?

Positive thoughts during hard times 💜

Hi ladies just wanted to share some positive thoughts during these tough times! Leave me a comment letting me know how you are staying positive 😊
I’m staying positive cuz even though things are scary right now I know how much I am helping the families I serve at my FCC and I know how much that allows those families to help our community. Feeling very lucky to be able to work with children and seeing their smiling faces every morning. Sending sunshine! ☀️💖

PARENTING HACKS

Not sure if I’m ready to step away from my job for the baby - help!

Career question! Who’s had the job of your dream or a leadership position that you worked really hard to get to and then a baby led you to step down or walk away from your job/position? What'd you do? Any advice?
