Last week, I had the privilege and pleasure of gathering together with 15 other moms to celebrate this shared journey of motherhood. It’s important to stop and remember that as we navigate the twists and turns of parenting that we are NOT alone. We need the support of other women – women who are struggling and striving to raise their babies to the best of their ability. So IMG_3043-1gather. Get together. Share your stories. Talk about your firsts. Journey together instead of alone.

We celebrated with a morning brunch – because everything’s better with hot coffee and pastry right? We were casual, comfy, and ready to connect. Each of the ladies at my party got to leave with a fantastic Pampers® goodie bag, featuring Pampers® Swaddlers and Pampers® Sensitive Wipes. (What a score!!) Everyone was so excited to walk away with some free diapers from a brand they trusted to take care of their little one.

Pampers understands there is nothing more joyful or rewarding than the precious first-time moments shared by little ones and their families. In honor of this special journey, Pampers has released a compilation video entitled “Firsts” that highlights those wondrous “first” experiences together. From the first time parents see their little one on a sonogram to the first evening home from the hospital, the Pampers “Firsts” video showcases precious, heart-felt moments babies and parents share together. Pampers recognizes that all first moments, no matter how big or small, are moments to be cherished and celebrated. Pampers is honored to be a part of the journey of firsts for millions of families around the world every dayPampersNewborn

Despite our differences in beliefs, upbringing, background, and parenting style, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US could relate to the following Pampers video. It brought the house down and caused us to take out our tissues. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. It didn’t matter if we were a new mother or a seasoned one. It didn’t matter if we’d had natural childbirths, inductions, or adopted. Breast-feeding, bottle-feeding, conventional, and “crunchy” moms alike can ALL relate to one another and those immensely powerful and overwhelmingly wonderful first interactions with our children. No matter who we are or how we are choosing to raise our kids, Pampers has been there. We’re all in this together.
