Dear Pregnant Caitlin,
Congratulations. This is it. The moment you've been dreaming of for years is finally here. After months of negative tests, happy pregnancy announcements from current and former friends, and one consolation tattoo, it's your turn. You saw those...
Summer is full of unfulfilled promises we made to ourselves during the spring about what we would do once the weather turned warmer. If you’re anything like us, you didn’t hold yourself to your promises this summer. Still, we had fun not doing much at all and not meeting our goals. Here’s where we fell short.
Motherhood comes with a host of choices about what is best for you, your family, and your children. We at Boston Moms Blog are a diverse group of moms who want to embrace these choices instead of feel guilty...
Dear Daughter,
Happy Mother's Day! I guess, really, you should be wishing that to me, and there will be time for that. But, let me take this moment to thank YOU. If it wasn't for you, I would not be...
I learned that my daughter’s epic airplane meltdown did not make her a bad kid, or me a bad mom. It made us both human. And resilient humans, at that.
Mom life is a marathon, not a sprint. You see, every mom I’ve ever known, near and far, experiences mom guilt to some degree, at some point in their journey of motherhood.

It doesn't matter where — school, daycare, soccer practice, swim lessons, a birthday party, Nana's house, vacation. It could be the most exciting trip to an amusement park that we've been planning and talking about for months. We are always late!
I blame the pandemic.
I used to be that person who loves to travel — especially by plane — so much that even turbulence created a feeling of thrilling excitement. I think I still love to travel, and I am...
In each of my three children's most recent parent-teacher conferences, there was one common theme. All three kids were doing very well in school, producing good work. But each teacher — of my three very different children — told...
It has been 4 solid years since we have had a newborn. Most families I know had children relatively close, within 1-3 years of each other, so I was not surprised when we realized that we had become the outlier. Trying...
We have our own brand of mashed-together parenting strategies and styles going on in our house, as I'm sure most moms do. Honestly, between being a geriatric millennial mom (a term I resent infinitely), a mom to a kid...
