Postpartum Depression Stole My First Year of Motherhood
[[link removed]]
PPD is a heavy reality for so many moms. Becky Vieira — who you might know from
her very funny Instagram account, @WittyOtter — writes for us today about the
toll it took on her. While she’s much, much better now, she’s struggling with
the fact there’s no getting those early days back: “I’d give anything to see him
at that age one more time. To feel that tiny baby in my arms and marvel at him.
To be completely present in a way that was never even a possibility for me back
then.”
Check out her story, and let us know if it resonates with you — you can always
reach me at our group email address:

INCLUSION I’m A Queer Mom In A Straight-Passing Relationship, And I Want To Be
Seen
[[link removed]]
“It’s started to wear on me that I don’t feel like I can fully be myself
around other parents. Straight parents assume I’m straight, and queer parents
assume I’m…also straight. I started to feel like a fraud; it became exhausting.”

Meet the PAW Patrol Toys That Are About to Fully Become Members of Your Family
[[link removed]]
Preschoolers are little explorers, naturally curious and equipped with the
necessary motor skills to explore the world around them. Unfortunately, their
attention spans tend to run on the short side, which makes keeping them
entertained for more than a few minutes at a time a challenge for parents.
Luckily, the right toys and games can meet this challenge, stimulating young
minds and giving parents time to take care of the many things parents have to
take care of.

The Day I Realized I Wasn’t Sending My Daughter A Strong Enough Message About
Consent
[[link removed]]
One day, Ellie Peterson watched her daughter explode into angry tears after
being carried around like a sack of potatoes by friends. She writes: “Through
hitching breaths, she told me that she didn’t want to be picked up and was tired
of being touched by everyone. ‘Why didn’t you just say that?’ I asked,
incredulously. ‘I don’t know!’ she replied.” That moment made Peterson realize
she needed to send a stronger message to her daughter — and eventually, she
turned that message into a book for kids everywhere.
