Parenting TipsWho are any of us, really, to offer parenting tips?  Every child, parent and relationship are so different, and this is why UrbanMommies is less a blog, and more a pragmatic, information-based online magazine with more information than opinions.  But… there is always more to learn and tricks of the trade can be very helpful in making our lives easier and more manageable.  We’ve listed a few tips on parenting, but would also like for you to add your own in the comments section.  We’ll read them all and the readers who give our favourite two ideas will receive a coupon for a free bottle of POM.

Submit Original Mom WritingWe all have thoughts and feeling to share, and nobody can tell your story except you  (that’s why we keep UrbanMommies pretty pragmatic).  Writing can be therapeutic and a fantastic way to record memories and events.  If you would like to submit your writing on Motherhood, Pregnancy or Parenting for publication in this section, please email us at info@urbanmommies.com.

We will notify you when submissions are received, and will contact you if your selection is chosen for publication.
