Hi, new mamas and friends! I’m so excited to see this little community growing, so I thought it was the perfect time for an update. One of the reasons I started blogging was to create a fun, little space for new moms to get information about life with a baby. The New Mama 101 Series was created in hope of making at least one new mama feel as if she wasn’t in this journey alone. Maybe that one new mama is you. I hope so.
To refresh your memory or to let you know what’s going on if you’re new here, this is a summary of what the New Mama 101 series is all about:
Mondays on Seven Graces are dedicated to the New Mama 101 Series: a place to find helpful tips and encouraging stories for the new mom. Each 101 post is written specifically for the new mama (and veteran mamas, too). All that has been covered so far is linked below to each original post. Bulleted items not hyperlinked are topics waiting to be written and shared. I have tried to go in chronological order, but last week I did get ahead of myself because I couldn’t wait any longer to share with you the birthday party planning tips.

And this is where I need your help. Are there any other items you would like to see added to this list? What post has been your favorite? I may go out of order for a few of these, but each one will be linked on the New Mama 101 page accordingly. With so many things still left to be covered, this is obviously going to take a while, but I am excited to continue this series with you. I hope you’ll share with other new moms, too. Please feel free to pin, share on Facebook, tweet, or share in whatever method works best for you. I appreciate it a ton! Because as we all know, motherhood really does take a village. Also, if you are a blogger and you think you might have something to contribute to the series, please email me at sevengracesblog (at) gmail (dot) com.
You all are the best, and I hope you always remember that not only are you a blessing to your sweet baby/babies, but you are also a huge blessing to me. Talk to you soon, girlfriend!
***See where I’m linking up here.
Hooray, this is so exciting to hear you are continuing on with your series. Even though we are past the baby phase and have entered the toddler phase, I love hearing your perspective and thinking back to our own experience. We are hoping for more kids sometime in the future, so this will be a great resource to look back on. I can’t think of anything off the top of my head for additional topics to include, but I will keep it on my mind and let you know!
Have a great day,
Lauren
Thanks, Lauren! I love writing about the toddler phase, too! :) I think I’ll continue to do that as well but maybe scattered elsewhere throughout the week since that’s what we’re going through currently. ;) And I hope that this will be a reminder to me as well when/if we have another child.
Happy Monday!
