Parenting

Being a parent is a huge privilege and a demanding role, all tied up in one. The category of Parenting features articles to encourage and equip parents in every season and from every walk of life –from mom of teens and toddlers to working and stay-at-home moms — as well as tips, hacks, inspiration, and resources in Dallas that every parent needs to know about.

Dallas Moms publishes original, personal stories and advice from local moms, as well as relevant and fun information for those of us in the trenches of parenthood.

Every article published via Dallas Moms — whether someone from our in-house team, a guest writer, or a sponsored writer — uses their words to reflect their own opinions, experiences, and beliefs. No singular post or collection of posts represents the opinions, beliefs, or agenda of Dallas Moms.

My idea of the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas spent with my husband and family went out the window when I married my husband, a first year medical school student, almost five years ago. Figuring out how to split the...
  As a stay-at-home AND work-at-home mom, on most days I have a greater chance of seeing the parents on Max and Ruby or a hair on Caillou’s head than I do of having a meaningful conversation with an adult. So how...

Dear Santa: I was thinking that perhaps you could get a little more creative this Christmas.  Body lotion, Snugglies, new dish towels…those are all really nice. But (insert yawn here) seriously, Santa, a mom only needs so many pairs of...
Today we have a fun giveaway to one of the cutest baby boutiques in Dallas. Babytique just opened off Forest and Inwood, but it is so much more than just a store. They offer a one-of-a-kind registry experience, in-store classes,...
