Europe in the summer is always a good idea, but between work, camp schedules, and family life, it’s not always realistic to take two weeks off. We wanted a trip that felt like a true European escape without spending half our vacation getting there.

Living on the East Coast, Portugal was the perfect choice. The overnight flight from Boston is just over six hours, so by the next morning we were wandering the colorful streets of Lisbon.

Remembering Gloria Steinem (1934–2026).

The world has lost an extraordinary icon of human liberation. Gloria Steinem, the trailblazing journalist, author, and fierce architect of second-wave feminism, passed away peacefully at her New York City home at the age of 92.

She taught us that equality is not a zero-sum game. When women rise, society moves closer to its full humanity. Thank you for your wit, your fierce intersectional leadership, and the radical empathy that ignited a movement. Your light will continue to guide the way for generations to come.

Before you become a mom, you probably had some plan for motherhood. 👶 From the moment you make that baby registry, you have a vision in your mind of what the next 18 years (and beyond) will look like: daycare or nanny, work or stay-at-home, gentle or authoritative parenting, etc.

But the thing is, pivoting is probably one of the most underrated tools in a mom’s toolbox. 🧰 If you’re a new mom realizing your plan isn’t exactly panning out or a more seasoned mom feeling like what you’re doing isn’t quite working, that’s normal. What you do with that realization can make all the difference for you and your family. 💫

🔥🔥 OUR FINAL MOMCAST SUMMER SIZZLER 🔥🔥

What a relief to hear a pediatrician be relatable rather than rigid. 💯

When we’re making decisions about something as important as vaccines, we need conversation—not guilt, not shame, and not eye rolls.

Dr. Mona Amin of Dr. Mona | Pediatrician | Child Development✨Health✨Parenting and The PedsDocTalk Podcast blew us away with this episode of MomCast.

Rather than answers, she invites us to ask our pediatrician more questions.

For more of Dr. Mona’s no-nonsense, science-backed approach, head to Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your shows.

Between real life and social media, it can seem like motherhood is a class…and too often we can feel like we’re failing. Toss that idea—because the perfect mom does not exist.

No one celebrates this like Erin Schlozman, therapist and author of ‘The Myth of the Perfect Mom’. She knows we’re bombarded with advice from our friends, our own moms, and glossy influencers we follow…but she says not to listen to their voices over your own.

As a specialist in maternal mental health, she implores us to create our personalized, unique motherhood: “People-pleasing doesn’t have to exist after you’ve had a baby. The person you really need to please is yourself.”

Schlozman was recently interviewed on MomCast, where she debunked the myths of modern motherhood and made the case for prioritizing our peace.

Mom Hack: Stop Matching Socks 🧦

Give every kid their own sock color.

No more sorting.
No more missing matches.
No more “WHOSE SOCK IS THIS?!” 🤣

Each kid gets one color → buy all their socks in that color → toss them all in the same drawer.

And if a sock goes missing? You’ll never know! 🙌🏼
