Welcome back to the Resilient Moms Podcast! Today I will be sharing with you my review of two online maternity styling sites. I decided with all the frustration around finding a wardrobe that fits my pregnant body, I would let someone else do the work. Overall it was a great experience and I am excited to share the whole process with you. I went with two sites: Stitch Fix and Thred Up. They both offered maternity specific styling and did not require a monthly non refundable fee. Check out my blog post and try on photos below to get the whole scoop on my styling experience. https://resilientbabyproducts.com/maternity-styling-review/

How to be a Mom AND Launch a Creative Business?

Summer pregnancy can be amazing despite the scorching temperatures and all those “fun” hormone fluctuations. You just need to know how to stay cool and enjoy some modified activities. I am super pumped to share some practical tips for all you mamas-to-be! Being pregnant during the summer months in New England seemed like a great idea when my husband and I first started planning for our second child, but there are a lot of factors to be aware of to maintain a safe pregnancy in the summer heat. My first son was a spring baby, so I was pregnant with him for the fall and winder seasons in Boston. This time around I really wanted to have my second child during the colder months, because taking a newborn outside in the summer was next to impossible as a first time mom. I am excited to see how this pregnancy experience will be during the opposite seasons. Check out the full blog post here: Summer Pregnancy Blog Post

Welcome to episode 10 of the Resilient Moms Podcast! I'm thrilled that you are joining me as we dive into the imaginative and alluring world of anime.  In this podcast I will break down the basics by style, genre, and rating to help you better understand the culture and art behind Japanese animation.  This podcast episode was inspired by a good friend of mine.

Today I wanted to share some pointers on identifying what triggers your toddlers tantrums and how to effectively navigate through outbursts. First Step: Breathe! You are NOT alone. I’m sure if you turn around right now, you would be greeted by an army of frazzled parents just like you. Read the full blog post here!!

Reading all the Pinterest lists that state some number followed by “Things you really need for your baby,” can be both redundant and exhausting. I lost track of how many lists I read and how half of them would contradict each other. Today I will be talking about the bare necessities you need for your new baby- (And if you’re anything like me, you just started humming the song from the Jungle Book).  So pull up a seat all you moms to be, and even you seasoned vets, there may be some new insight I can give you on products that I have tried and some new recommendations.  All of the products that I am going to talk about RBP is not affiliated with.
