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...

Thanksgiving Vibes: Family, Fun & All the Fall Feels

Hey BUBS fam! 

It’s that time of year again—Thanksgiving is here! Even if you don't celebrate it, it's a chance to press pause, hang with the people you love, and reflect on what matters (hint: pie is always on the list ).

Whether you’re hosting the feast, heading out of town, or keeping it low-key, Thanksgiving is all about making memories, sharing laughs, and soaking in those cozy family vibes. Here’s what we’re looking forward to this weekend:

Thanksgiving Highlights:



1. Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: 

A total classic! Those giant balloons, the floats, and all the marching bands are such a vibe. If you’re watching from home, grab a blanket, some hot cocoa, and let the kids pick their favorite balloon (Snoopy is always a crowd-pleaser).

2. Food, Food, and More Food: 

Thanksgiving dinner is the main event. Let the kids “help” (or at least pretend to), pile your plate high, and don’t even think about skipping dessert.

3. Post-Dinner Fun: 

Feeling stuffed? Same. Grab some board games, queue up a holiday movie, or just lounge around while someone “accidentally” falls asleep on the couch.

4. Weekend Adventures: 

From tree-lighting ceremonies to local markets, there’s always something happening this time of year. Check out what’s going on nearby and dive into some festive fun.

5. Walk It Off (Or Try To): 

After the big meal, take a stroll with the fam, enjoy the fall colors, and get ready for a second round of pie because, let’s be real... you’re gonna have it anyway.

Wishing You All the Good Stuff:

Whatever your plans, we’re wishing you a weekend full of love, laughter, and leftovers. If you’re traveling, stay safe, and if you’re staying in, enjoy all the cozy vibes.

We’re so grateful to have this amazing BUBS community—y’all are the best! From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 


PS: Got a fun Thanksgiving tradition or the ultimate leftover recipe?

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. ...
