Ages + Stages

Group of kids- Ages and Stages, Birmingham Mom

Navigating the ages and stages of parenthood is like embarking on an adventure without a map, full of new discoveries and challenges at every turn. From a mom’s viewpoint, this journey goes beyond parenting; it’s about diving into the heart of motherhood, growing and learning alongside your child. Each stage, from the sweet cries of infants to the complex teenage years, brings its own mix of joys, trials, and moments of insight. Mothering is deeply personal yet connects us all through shared experiences, creating a colorful family tapestry. Birmingham Moms is here to provide you with wisdom and guidance as we navigate motherhood together.

Motherhood is a remarkable adventure, brimming with hurdles and precious moments at every step of your child’s growth. Pregnancy ignites a whirlwind of anticipation and varied feelings, heralding the start of a life-changing path. The arrival of a newborn entails sleepless nights and numerous diaper changes, yet it also entails the unparalleled delight of witnessing your baby’s milestones. As your child grows into a toddler, the focus shifts to handling tantrums, fostering independence, and cheering on their first words and steps. The school years present new challenges, balancing academics, extracurricular activities, and social development. The teenage phase establishes their identity and prepares them for life after high school. Every phase of motherhood, while demanding, strengthens the connection between a mother and her child.

At Birmingham Mom, we stand by you through every age and stage of parenthood. Let’s navigate each phase together with confidence and grace, ensuring you have a supportive tribe of moms by your side always.

The Terrible Twos Mamas: I am writing to you from the trenches. There is screaming, gnashing of teeth, fit-throwing, tears, and snotty noses that run at the sight of tissues. There are daily meltdowns over the most random things. I...
In the South, people always ask about your upbringing. It’s really just polite conversation. Who’s your grandma? Where were you raised? Do you cheer for Auburn or Alabama? Where did you go to high school? That last question always gets...

How We Homeschool

I recently wrote about WHY we homeschool. Today I will share HOW we homeschool. There are countless ways to go about it. Every single family does it differently because no two families are exactly alike. I’m simply sharing how...

Dear NICU Mama, Our eyes meet as I walk into the room to introduce myself as your baby’s nurse for the day. You smile politely and secretly wish that I was a familiar face instead of another new one. I...
I cried last night. Not the cry-a-single-tear kind, but like a full-on UGLY cry. My face contorted. My husband looked at me like I had lost my marbles. When I tried to explain myself to him, all that came...
