Parenting- Boston Moms

In an ideal world, parenting would be effortless, with a guide for every situation. However, we all know that’s not the reality. Each child is unique, requiring special love, care, and nurturing. So, without a parenting manual, what can you do? That’s where Boston Moms comes in. Our team consists of more than 40 contributors from different backgrounds and family structures, bringing a diverse range of experiences from various walks of life and parenthood.

Parenthood is an amazing journey, filled with challenges and beautiful moments. The anticipation and mixed emotions during pregnancy mark the beginning of this transformative experience. The newborn phase brings sleepless nights and countless diaper changes, but oh, the incomparable joy of witnessing your baby’s first smile! As your little one blossoms into a curious toddler, the journey transforms into a whirlwind of managing tantrums, fostering independence, and cherishing their first words and wobbly steps. The school years unveil a whole new spectrum of challenges, as you navigate the delicate balance between academics, extracurricular activities, and the intricate world of social development. And as the teenage phase unfolds, their identity takes shape, boundaries are established, and the need for open communication becomes paramount. Every stage of motherhood, though it can be tough, strengthens the unbreakable bond between a mom and her child.

Our goal at Boston Moms is to be there for you during every stage of parenthood, offering resources and support. Whether you need guidance or just someone to be there, we want to walk alongside you in your parenthood journey.

By today’s standards, my parents should be incarcerated. Starting in third grade (8 years old), nearly every weekend my parents let me ride my bicycle alone to the local strip mall about a quarter mile away to pick up bagels...
I like to call myself a Boston lifer, but that's not really true. We actually just moved back to Boston after spending 12 years in New York City. And it's been an adjustment, to say the least.  But we've...
I have a love-hate relationship with the term mom. Depending on who says it, I can glow or cringe. I love hearing my daughter say it in her squeaky toddler voice. It makes me melt. But, I hate when my...
Instead of doing the typical list of story times, I decided to talk to some of the wonderful women at my library.  I am fortunate and grateful to have an exceptional library in my town (Melrose.)  The librarians are...
Usually these days if you hear conversation about texting, it's all bad. You'll hear how texting is impersonal and cold and how too many people are texting and have lost the ability to have conversations or even spell words...
Those who know me know that Sunday mornings are sacred. No, it is not because we go to church. It is because I go to Zumba. “So what?”, you may ask. Let me repeat- I go to Zumba. I,...
I am one of those cray cray moms who loves to plan a birthday party, Pinterest style. It probably all started when my mom made my birthday a very big deal as a child, and now I am so excited to be...
There are countless articles about how to find and make friends once you become a mother.  When I was pregnant I didn't think I needed any new friends.  I had a large social network-work colleagues, grad school friends, family...
It’s not easy having a to-do list 100 items long at home, being a career mom, and trying to squeeze in some actual relaxation time. For me, it’s inevitable to just let something go during the busy work week....
