Green Bay Area Mom

We are passionate about connecting moms to local resources, businesses, and products that we personally love. Bloom attendees had the opportunity to get valuable information from our impressive of panel of experts and to meet and mingle with several local businesses and organizations. 

But something else happens.  It happens to me. And it happens each time.  Regret.  Guilt.  Shame.  I feel horrible- and not just because of a sore throat.  These three little humans that I am desperately attempting to raise as productive, kind members of society, are now frantically scrambling to do the task.

So then how in the world, when I’m racing around town trying to get Daughter A and Daughter B from Point A to Point B on time, are we going to find time to eat a frickin’ meal? Are we doomed to a solid month of Happy Meals and drive-thru dinners?

In order to feel the love on Mother’s Day, I think we need to lower our expectations a bit. If your grand plan (or even not so extravagant plan) isn’t fully met, it can be disappointing or feel as if the day is “just any other day.”

Spring is officially here, so it's not too soon to start planning park days! We have some TRULY great parks in our area. The kiddos may get a little muddy, but the fresh air helps them sleep SO much better (totally worth the extra laundry). Here are 30 (yes 30!!) parks that are worth a visit this year. This list by no means covers every park in the Green Bay area, but it's enough to jump start your season! Did we include your favorites? Let us know in the comments. Happy playing!

Are you passionate about the Green Bay Area and the moms who live here? The Green Bay Area Moms Blog team is growing, and we are looking for local moms to join our growing team as a Sales Director!

Spring is here and sports are starting. Teach your child what it means to be part of a team. Show them what sportsmanship looks like. Don’t be “That Guy”! Remember why they are playing and what they are really playing for.

Too often, we moms look at all our faults at the end of each day: we weren't patient enough, we didn't get enough work done, we left the dirty dishes, the kids didn't get a bath, they will definitely wear mis-matched socks again the next day, etc. Or, the bigger ones we judge ourselves for: we aren't in enough pictures, we have weight to lose, we don't take any me-time (but then feel guilty when we take it), etc. The reality is that I was looking at myself with a negative lens.

Please join us in supporting these moms and business owners by visiting their sites, giving them a “like” on Facebook, and contacting them directly via the links provided. Use this opportunity to try out new products, buy a gift for a friend, or host a fun mom's night out party that features their merchandise!

When you get married it is easy to overlook some important aspects. It is not all lace, chalkboard signs, and cake tastings. You get way more than just a new partner in life or someone to nag when they leave the strawberries out overnight. You get their family.
