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.
As a mom, I feel like I am constantly trying to figure out how to efficiently run a household, make sure there is food in the fridge, do all of the school events and remember that I do have a spouse to spend time with too. For some, when life gets busy, housework is ignored. I get it, we are all trying to do what we can and there is always the saying "Cleaning can wait until tomorrow ... my kids are little and lovable" or something like that.
There is truth in that and if that works for you, live your life! For me, and I am guessing a few other parents out there, my anxiety only calms when...

What You Should Know About Your Kids Losing Teeth
There’s that moment when the kiddo comes to you with the tooth wiggling, seemingly
hanging on by a thread. It’s a huge milestone and you realize you don’t have a baby
anymore. We get a lot of questions about when this should happen, what to do, and
ways to ease any fear that may be there. Let’s chat.
When that sweet bundle of joy starts teething you can expect 20 teeth to emerge. All
serving different purposes from speaking to chewing. This starts at about six months
and over the course of the next years. When should they start losing teeth?
We find most children start losing teeth between four...
For the last several years, I have pretty much just been Mom. I love that title, I love my girls. But having young kids (ages 5, 3, 2, and 1 here) means that I’ve been in the trenches for a while, especially with one with extra needs.
A few months back, I realized that Stacy was gone. I no longer had an identity aside from Mom. Along with the hazy fog of young motherhood, I was becoming overwhelmed with anxiety and depression.
I sought the help of a counselor, who really helped me to sort through some of the bigger issues, but I still felt so empty so much of the time.
I came to the realization that I wanted to do...
Mommas, we spend so much of our time in the kid zone that we sometimes forget any other zone exist.
It all begins the day they are born. You are constantly being reminded to focus on the baby's needs. To be in tune with every noise, cry, and change in poop color.
Our mothering instinct kicks in and our womanly wilds go out the window!!! Let’s not even talk about the decrease in sex drive or the ability to pee in peace, especially once they hit the toddler age.
As a mom of teens and tweens, I would like to say that this kid laser focus changes naturally, but it doesn’t! The late night feedings turn into staying up watching the clock...
Call me old-fashioned, but I love serving my man. I love being the woman who builds her man up, encourages him, makes him the best sandwich there ever was, and send him off with a kiss. I think when we first got into a relationship with the man we fall in love with, we all experience a selfless kind of love. The kind of love where we put the other, first. But the truth is, life happens, kids happen, routines happen, we experience ups and downs and life is not always easy. When things get busy and heavy, it’s very easy to fall into ruts, and the idea of servant-hood quickly becomes less desirable.
In today’s culture, women have...
