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...

From School to Weekend Fun: What’s Your Family Up To This Fall?

What’s Your Family Up To This Fall?

Hello BUBS Families.

How’s the School Year Going So Far?

We’re already a couple of months into the school year, and it feels like time is flying by! How’s everyone adjusting to the new routines? Fall is a season of change in most of our lives, whether it's school starting for kids, or the beginning of seasonal activities.

How have your fall activities been?

If you have not gone for a walk in the fall air yet, pumpkin patches are always an autumn favorite, making it easy to get the whole family in on the fun. Something about strolling through rows of pumpkins with a steaming cup of apple cider and watching the kids find their perfect gourd, it's definitely one for the memories.

For those who love staying active, fall can also bring a whole new set of adventures. Whether it’s hiking through colorful forests, taking family bike rides on the weekend, or even setting up a cozy backyard fire pit for marshmallow roasting, there’s so much to enjoy.

What After-School or Weekend Activities Are Your Kids In?

With the new school year underway, kids are exploring the after-school and recreational or team programs. How about your little ones? Are they playing soccer, going to dance class, or trying something new like gymnastics or art?

It is a weekend of game days for some families, cheering from the sidelines as kids score goals or run across. Some might have dance recitals to go to or karate classes. And it is always awesome to see how these activities help children develop their self-confidence, meet new friends and have so much fun.

Whatever your fall looks like, we’d love to hear from you! How are your kiddos enjoying the season? Whether it’s pumpkin picking, after-school sports, or something totally different

Here’s to making the most of this beautiful season.

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

Image
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. ...
