Ask any Baton Rouge mom what she wants for her children, and health + wellness will be one of her first responses. Whether it’s the mental health of her teenagers, how much screen time to allow her toddlers or struggling with breastfeeding, moms simply want the best outcome for their children’s overall health.
The world is stressful and chaotic, and sometimes I can’t bear to even watch / read the news or listen to current events podcasts. Sometimes I just want, and need, to stay in my bubble. Sometimes it’s all too much and we need an escape. Sure people like their serial killer documentaries and their true crime podcasts, but sometimes we need pure escapism. We need the absurdities and the farcical situations of Scranton, or Pawnee, or Greendale. We need a sitcom. Sitcoms are like comfort food.

I have been in the parenting game for 14 years, and until this week have never had a 911 emergency. Since my firecracker of a third child has blessed us with this recent emergency situation, I could not let it go without writing about it!
Calm Before the Storm

I’m starting a new diet on Monday.
I need an entire day to clean my house because it’s gotten so out of hand.
I think I’m going to sign up for the gym next month.
I have an idea for a podcast that I’m going to start soon.
I spent a ton of money this weekend, but I’m going to eat at home and bring a lunch to work every single day next week.

My sister recently told me about a t-shirt she noticed a mom wearing at the soccer field. The shirt read:I'm Fine, It's Fine, Everything is Fine
This mom also had her hands full with water bottles, a toddler, and was pulling a wagon filled with chairs and other soccer gear.

For this reason, many moms turn to vitamin supplements to fill in the gaps. Vitamin supplements come in many forms, including gummy vitamins, capsules and chewable pills.
