Motherish

Doing a theme park with a toddler or baby is a whole new world, indeed. As survivors of this experience, we share all the hacks, dos and don'ts to help you really feel like you're visiting the happiest place on earth.

Motherhood is definitely a full time job, but there is a huge difference between choosing to only focus on that and feeling like you're stuck focusing only on that. Moms need to take risks, try new things, make changes if necessary, and take on passion projects- whatever it takes to fuel your fire. Today we talk to fellow mommy and founder of the “But First She Failed” podcast, Paola Soares about how she's helping women redefine the idea of failure to chase bold dreams.

Happy early Mother’s Day mommas!!! Today not only do we celebrate each other but we talk about our incredible resilience. We want to focus on those little moments, the moments that go unnoticed, those in the dark or alone as you're holding your child thinking “I got this”. Here at Motherish moments we want to remind you that Mother's Day is everyday.

What? Who? How? Why?...There are so many questions when it comes to being a “cool mom.”We know all moms are amazing, but certain things can make you extra trendy. Who falls into this category? And why would someone care? In a very humbling and fun way we do a self analysis and dig deep into this whole concept...are we actually cool moms?

You would think this pandemic has taught us to adapt to change, to be more flexible…you know, to not get so fixated with our plans. Yet still, for many mothers, going with the flow or just accepting change, could be a great challenge. Today we open up, maybe breakdown a little, and vent about why it’s so hard when things don't go as planned, and why sometimes we have to just... let…it…go!

As parents one of our main concerns is to help our children succeed in all they do. Sometimes when our children struggle, we have a hard time accepting the issue or knowing where to find the right type of help. Why is it so hard for some of us to say…SOS, we need help, helping our children!

Today we talk to Dr. Dawn Mays, school psychologist, and get her advice on how we could identify an issue and then tackle it the best way possible.

Here at Motherish Moments we are focused on creating happy and healthy memories for our babies. That is, without a doubt, our most important mission. There is this theory that you don’t remember your early years, specifically before the age of four, but we want our children in the future to always enjoy their trip down memory lane, because, come on...early years do matter.

Valentine's Day is around the corner and as our Motherish tradition goes, we wanted to celebrate our little ones and the deep connection and love we have for them. Having said that...we are now raising... toddlers! (eek!) And with that, comes a whole different set of emotions and challenges. Today we open up what it's been like entering the toddler years and how we are reminded that a mother's love is like no other.

Picture this... your kid is about to have a meltdown, and then you pull out this trick from your back pocket that magically brings them back from tantrum city. And then you look at yourself in the mirror and are like, damn I'm killing it. Wouldn't it be great to feel like that all the time?!? Today we'll be sharing some mom hacks that we've learned in our time as moms that help us manage the day to day madness of toddler parenting!

A New Year means new beginnings, new goals...blah blah blah. We've all seen the memes and the motivational posts but a new year doesn't mean we should forget and ignore what was pending in 2021, and all the lessons we learned that year. Today we look forward to an incredible 2022 - armed with everything 2021 left us! This week Pamela & Karen reflect on the best of 2021, and what we're looking forward to in the new year. 

Can you believe it?! .. Motherish Moments, the podcast, turns one! This little baby, our little project that we started not really knowing what we were doing, is celebrating its first year. Our babies have grown and this amazing community has grown with them. We are so grateful and we are excited because the best is yet to come!

We cannot speak about family without mentioning our siblings: that little brother or little sister who have now grown up to be the "funcle" and cool aunt. Some say they are the unsung heroes in our village, and others may argue they add the fun to the chaos. Today Pamela & Karen dig a little deeper and discuss how their relationships with their siblings, Paloma & Miguel, have influenced our thoughts on our current & future babies.

Whether it's getting your child dressed, talking your baby out of a tantrum, or rushing your little one to the urgent care- mothers are constantly putting out fires! Today we talk about how we turn little struggles into big wins to remind you that in your own way...you're the Best Mom Ever!

In today's episode we are answering all your questions about breast milk, breastfeeding, pumping and all the fun the goes with it. Joining us with her knowledge is @breastmilkbarista, Priscilla Subervi, RN CBS, a lactation expert who will take us to liquid gold GOALS.

For us “La familia” is what keeps us grounded and the center of our universe - both culturally and emotionally. The concept of family is in our DNA, but when you have a baby the role of your old family evolves with the birth if your new little family. Today we discuss all the good and bad that comes with those changes and celebrate the importance of family!

Oh what a summer it's been! We watched our babies learn to run, try new things, we potty trained, we traveled, we started wearing masks again... through it all, we’ve become stronger mamas and a stronger community. Welcome back to Season 2 of Motherish Moments!

We’re all so happy to see things slowly going back to normal. It's been a long, rough year for many, and one of the first things families are looking forward to doing is - traveling with their little ones. Whether you're hitting the road or getting back on a plane, we're going to share our experiences on how we have or plan to pack up our babies... because we are ready for some new adventures!

Mom, mum, mami- Editor in chief of Parents Latina, Grace Bastidas, joins us for a candid conversation about the beauty and challenges of raising multicultural and bilingual children. We've heard about all the benefits for children to master more than one language but. what's it like to incorporate various cultures & languages in your day to day? Grace is here to share her personal journey as a mom of two beautiful American-Colombian- British girls.

We grew up hearing certain things that eventually shaped us - some good, some bad. What are the words you're using to speaking to and around your child? What patterns do you want to repeat, and which ones do you want to break from your childhood? Karen and Pamela travel down memory lane to highlight the people who shaped them and the lessons and messages that stayed with them.

The birth of a mother paralleling the birth of a baby is a recurring theme in our podcast. So much preparation goes into the arrival of the baby that we often forget to prepare for us- for our new realities as mothers. Today we talk to momma, wife, model and entrepreneur Alexis Kristiana. She shares her personal journey adapting to motherhood and how the birth of her son Zion turned her life upside down- for the better!

This episode is all about you, mommas! We asked you to send us suggestions to shout out some amazing moms during this Mother’s Day episode, and boy did you deliver! We’re so happy about all the emails we got and touched by the amazing stories you share with us. So this episode is for you, Happy Mother's Day! 

Mommies, future mamas, girlfriends... listen up! Here we always like to celebrate our motherhood journey, but often women go on this journey blindly. There are so many things no one tells you, that they should. Today we share all the advice that was helpful, but mainly all the ones we never got that now we want to share with you!

Little Ford is finally turning ONE! This is huge milestone for both Ford and Pamela. We get emotional on this one, as Pamela dives into her first year as a mom and everything she’s learned.

As Victoria’s 2nd birthday approaches, Karen and her husband Juan take a look back at these last two years and how their lives changed. We dig into how having a baby changed their relationship, and all the new learnings along the way.

Today our episode is all about postpartum fitness: we ask ourselves, is there such thing as “bouncing back?” What is the healthiest way to get back on track to a new and healthy you? We talk with Taylor Walker Sinning, a Holistic Health Practitioner, fitness model and content curator of health, fitness and lifestyle blog about her goal to empower women to be their best selves in the most real way possible.

Being a working-mom means living in a constant battle to keep the perfect balance between excelling at work and shining at motherhood. But reality is perfection seldom exits and at some point something has got to give. Today we dare to enter the guilt free zone and vent about some of the things we do, that perhaps come off as annoying but whatever -“yup, I’m that mom”
