Ages + Stages

Jacksonville Mom Ages and Stages

Navigating the ages and stages of parenthood is like setting off on an adventure without a map—full of new discoveries and challenges at every turn. From a mom’s perspective, this journey transcends parenting; it’s about delving into the heart of motherhood, growing, and learning alongside your child. Every stage, from the sweet cries of infants to the complexity of the teenage years, brings its own blend of joys, trials, and moments of insight. Motherhood is deeply personal yet unites us through shared experiences, weaving a colorful family tapestry. At Jacksonville Mom, we aim to provide you with wisdom and guidance as we embark on this motherhood journey together.

Motherhood is a remarkable journey, filled with challenges and beautiful moments through each age and stage of your child’s life.  Pregnancy sparks a whirlwind of excitement and mixed emotions, signaling the start of an incredible transformative journey. The newborn phase brings sleepless nights and countless diaper changes, but also the unmatched joy of witnessing your baby’s milestones. As your child grows into a toddler, the focus now turns to handling tantrums, fostering independence, and cheering on their first words and steps.The school years present new challenges, Jacksonville Mom shares how to boost your child’s confidence, balance monitoring kids’ technology and how to help your child manage anxiety and perfectionism in school. The teenage phase establishes their identity and prepares them for life after high school. Each stage of motherhood, though challenging, deepens the bond between a mother and her child.

At Jacksonville Mom, we’re here for you all ages and stages of parenthood. Let’s navigate each phase confidently and gracefully, with a supportive community of moms by your side.

The start of the school year is quickly approaching, and teachers are getting ready to stock their classrooms! Teachers spend around $1,000 (out of their own pockets) just to prepare for the school year. This is a huge expense,...
Listen, I know Beyoncé said that they can’t break our souls, but I think she may have been wrong. Because summer break is absolutely breaking my soul (or maybe my sanity? or both?). I mean, don’t get me wrong,...
Fly little bird! Fly! What an exciting time as a parent! Your baby just graduated from high school. How is that possible? It seems like just yesterday that they graduated from kindergarten with that sweet little baby face. And...
I always worried about my oldest son. Every developmental milestone, every quirk, every behavior that even remotely seemed out of the norm. I consulted Dr. Google. I played the comparison game. I asked for opinions. I came to every...
Sports teach a lot of lessons. I think that's partly why parents sign up for them. Learning teamwork, getting exercise, being active, doing something instead of staring at a screen, meeting other people, and playing a game they love...
A year ago, I joined the infamous mom of three club. I had no clue how I’d manage being responsible for three tiny humans, but guess what? I did it. And I’m still doing it, day in and day...
Since I began homeschooling my kids in 2022, I have heard a lot of, "Oh, I've always wanted to try," or, "Oh my gosh, I could never do that, but good for you." But as I began to grow...
There is nothing more exciting than expecting a sweet new baby. There is also nothing more exhausting than waking up with that sweet baby and feeding them every one to three hours in those first few weeks! On top...
"Can we get lunch on the way home?" my teenage daughter texts me on an early release day. "Yes, that's fine," I reply, excited she's actually using her phone to communicate with her mother. We spend lunch watching stupid dance videos...
We are days away from the school year ending, and man-oh-man are my kids ready —  especially my 5th grader! GOODBYE, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! How did we get here so fast? I’m not ready. My 5th grader, however, is very much...

The Nest

Full-circle moments often hit without warning and strip the breath right from our lungs. Let's jump to February 18, 2021, the day our daughter had to check out of school early because she was physically nauseous. This day was what...
We had eight games this weekend — and about the same amount last weekend. Between two boys and three (or some seasons four) teams (with all-star or travel), it's a lot of baseball. I love it. I have always loved baseball,...
