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.

A Day in The Life

The first week of December, I was so excited to actually see my "Mommy Diary" article published in Dallas Child Magazine. My day is not exactly riveting, and I am not some supermom making a huge impact on Dallas, but...
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...
You know what time of year this is, right? This is the time of year where schedules get a little full, kids eat a little too much sugar, and it gets dark earlier so it feels like you have...

Stay Away Please

I'm sure it's happened to you. Your kid got sick from another kid from daycare, the church nursery, or playgroup. I know this has happened to us, and I'm sure we've been the culprit a few times as well. But sometimes it's so easy...
