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.
If I had a dollar for every time a friend or family member told me they would start a big project soon … I’d be able to get CC’s twice a day. Think about how many times you or someone you know says the following:
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. As I listened to my sister describe this woman and her t-shirt, I could not help but think of this scene as a metaphor for motherhood. How often are you carrying around a heavy load, whether it be physical or mental? Often times from the outside mothers appear to be completely FINE; however, on the inside we are feeling quite the opposite. Why is it mothers feel the need to...

What are the Best Vitamin Supplements for Women?
Moms want to do what’s best for their health. When juggling priorities like family, work, friends, and other obligations, it is easy to get so busy that their nutrition suffers. 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.
About Vitamin Supplements
The supplement industry is a billion-dollar industry, and some claims about vitamin supplements are not supported by legitimate medical evidence. While there may be some positive benefits to taking vitamins, the average woman doesn’t need vitamin supplements. When it comes...
For those of you who are raising three-year-olds, you understand the dreaded “three-nager” phase. This phase comes with boundary testing and fierce independence. My youngest is a wild, free-spirited, little lady with a big personality and a ton of self-confidence! The more I think about it, I start to imagine what it would be like to live with the same unapologetic confidence as my toddler?
There is nothing like confidence
To prepare for a typical day, I lay out all of my children’s clothes the evening before to help our morning run smoothly. My youngest is used to this routine and rarely gives us trouble with getting ready. On one recent morning, I realized that Laurel hadn’t come out of her...
How to be a respectful parent without losing your sh*t? Well, I don’t have the answer to that, but read on if you would like to get a little closer to the answer.
First, I’ll open with this TikTok gold that a lot of us can relate to:

Second, I’m going to explain the difference between respectful parenting and permissive parenting. Respectful parenting gets a bad rep because it is often confused with permissive parenting. Respectful parenting is treating your child as a human being and connecting with them. After all, you wouldn’t yell at or hit your other family members, co-workers, or friends. It is important to note that it does not entail not disciplining your child. Permissive parenting, on...
