This Week's Parenting Wins: Celebrating the Small (But Actually Huge) Moments

Image
  "Some weeks feel like survival mode. But this week?  This week had some wins worth celebrating... and I'm taking a moment to soak them in before the next diaper blowout or meltdown over the 'wrong' cup." The Milestones That Make Your Heart Melt My win:  My daughter waved for the first time this week. Not just a random hand flail, an actual, intentional wave goodbye to her dad. And then she did it again. And again. I may have teared up. She's also decided that "uh-oh" is her new favorite phrase. Everything is "uh-oh." Dropped her toy? Uh-oh. Knocked over her sippy cup? Uh-oh. Had the dogs eat from her hands...  "uh-oh" (I love this stage). The best part?  She's not just babbling, she's  talking to me . Making eye contact, waiting for my reaction, trying to tell me things in her own little language. We're having conversations, and even though I understand maybe 10% of what she's saying, it feels awesome. And physic...

Hello BUBS Update: The Journey to the App Store

I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about the journey we’ve been on to get Hello BUBS listed in the App Store. It’s been quite a ride, and I’m sure many of you can relate to the highs and lows that come with trying to launch something you truly believe in.

Striving for Perfection

Getting Hello BUBS ready for the App Store has been both exciting and mentally challenging. I’m someone who wants everything to be perfect for you all, and that’s a tough standard to meet. Every detail, every feature, every user experience needs to be just right. But, nothing is ever right... 


The Mental Hurdle

There were days when I found myself overthinking every little aspect, wondering if it was ready, if it was good enough. This kind of self-doubt can be a real hurdle. I kept tweaking and refining, wanting the app to be flawless before even thinking about submitting it to the App Store.

Taking the Leap

But then, I realized something important: no product is ever truly perfect. The best way to improve Hello BUBS is to get it into the hands of you, our amazing community, and learn from your feedback. So, despite the mental tug-of-war, I took the leap and submitted the app for review.

Waiting for the Green Light

Now, we’re in the waiting game, hoping for the green light from the App Store. It’s a mix of excitement and nerves, but I know this is the next step. Your feedback will be invaluable in helping us shape Hello BUBS into the best platform it can be.

What’s Next?

Once we get the approval, it’s all systems go! Here’s what’s coming up:

  • Launching the app and gathering your feedback to make improvements.
  • Continuing to explore partnerships that will add even more value to Hello BUBS.
  • Building on the foundation we’ve set to create a community that supports each other in the journey of parenting.

Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate this process. It means the world to have such a supportive community backing Hello BUBS. I can’t wait to share the app with you all and start this next chapter together.

BUBS New Year Update Hey there, BUBS family! Can you believe it's 2025 already? Hope you all had an amazing holiday season with your little ones! Some Big News...  I've got to share something super exciting... We just welcomed a little one to the world! Yep, I'm back in the sleep-deprived parents club now with our beautiful baby girl. These past few weeks have been a wild ride of midnight feeds, figuring out diaper changes, and soaking in all those newborn snuggles.  Talk about hands-on research for Hello Bubs , right?  You All Rock!  December was huge for us. So many of you reached out with amazing suggestions and feedback about the app. We're seriously blown away by how engaged and helpful you all are! Not gonna lie, between baby cuddles and catching whatever sleep we can, development has been moving a bit slower than usual (fellow parents, you know how it goes!).  But don't worry, we're going through every single piece of feedback you've sent our wa...

Real Talk: Parenting Wins and Struggles of 2024

Parents, You're the Real MVPs Let’s get real for a second. Parenting is a journey filled with moments of joy and others where we’re just trying to survive the day. As we wrap up 2024, it’s the perfect time to look back on the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. The Wins The first steps, words, or new hobbies your little one mastered. The meals where no one cried (yes, even the grown-ups). The unexpected moments of connection that made your heart melt. Sometimes, the biggest win is simply getting through the day. And that deserves to be celebrated. The Struggles The sleepless nights that felt endless. The meltdowns (from kids and parents). The constant juggling act of schedules, emotions, and responsibilities. If 2024 taught us anything, it’s that the struggles are just as much a part of parenting as the wins. They remind us we’re human, we’re trying our best, and we’re not alone. ...
