Ages + Stages

children of different ages + stages of childhood

In an ideal world, parenting through ages + stages would be simple. There would be a how-to on every scenario and a handbook you could follow. However, we know that’s not the case, every child is different and needs special love, care, and nurturing. Without a parenting guide, what can you do? New Orleans Mom is here to help. We have many contributors with diverse backgrounds and different family structures. Our team of over 30 contributors brings experiences from all walks of life and parenthood. We have you covered no matter what ages + stages of parenthood you’re going through, our moms have been there.

If you’re starting and wondering can pregnancy dreams predict the gender of your baby, we’ve written about that. The first few weeks with a newborn can be overwhelming. Reducing your stress is key to allowing yourself time to bond with your little one. In one of our most popular posts, we have tips on setting boundaries with loved ones. We’ve also created guides to help you find resources in New Orleans. One of our most popular guides is our Guide to Childcare and Preschools. These are just some of the most popular posts from our ages + stages category, and we continually add more. From pregnancy to the teenage years, we’ve got you covered. 

Through all ages + stages of childhood, we are here to help with resources to help you. Whether that help is guiding you to solutions or simply helping you feel not so alone. Let us help you navigate those ages + stages with ease. 

The Bachelorette is not an Option As a result of my livelihood, I deem it important and preach to all to carry oneself in the utmost style and grace no matter the circumstance. Whether one is hosting a party, giving...

The day my husband came home and said “I’m thinking of opening an exclusive waxing studio and I want you to manage it,” I laughed. Me? I haven’t waxed my eyebrows in a year and my shaving scheduled has...
I never saw myself getting married or having children. I had a bit of a hard time growing up in a broken home and didn’t want to necessarily go down that path. But now, I realize that family life...
When I married my college sweetheart, my biggest fear was that I wouldn’t be able to give him children. Since I was a teenager, I suffered with fibroid tumors. A few months before our wedding, I underwent an extensive...
The day I graduated college, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do for a living. My plan was simple: do something, work my way up, get married, have a bunch of kids, save money, and...
I’ve always considered myself a very driven, determined and business minded person. My husband has the same drive and business savvy, which is why I am very lucky to have him as my business partner. Although, there are ups...
Several years ago, I decided that having kids just wasn’t for me. Babies were kind of weird and kids were cute and funny, but I didn’t really want one. I was happily married, self-employed and felt like my life...
I only have one child (so far), but most of the time I feel like I have two - and no, I’m not talking about my husband! I’m talking about my business, Thibodeaux School of Music, which is coming...
It’s hard to believe that the school year is just about over! As excited as I am about not packing school lunches nightly, making sure uniforms are clean and let’s not forget about homework, the thought of having 2...
Let's be real. If you've never nursed a toddler (i.e. someone who can toddle/walk around), then you probably have a hard time wrapping your mind around the notion. As someone who has nursed two toddlers, I'm on the opposite...

Why I blog

I've been blogging for a long time. My first post was back in July 2001. I didn't even use blogging software, I just had an HTML page that I updated when I wanted to write a new post. Heck,...
Disclosure: Vacay Foods sponsored this post, but the minute they reached out to us I immediately fell in love with the idea of this business. My absolute favorite vacation destination is Rosemary Beach, along 30A in the panhandle of...
