black mom

This week while we are on summer vacation,  catch up on all our podcast episodes. We have re-released one of our very first episodes... All about our birth stories.

This episode, we talk all about our different birth stories. With four kiddos between the two of us, we had VERY different labor and delivery experiences - from inductions and scheduled C-sections to VBAC and unplanned complications. Listen as we discuss ways to prepare for delivery but also how to prepare for the unexpected.

We love connecting with other mamas about their pregnancies, births, and parenting experiences. If you are interested in being on the podcast or providing topic ideas, message us at thecradleandall@gmail.com or DM us on IG @thecradleandall.

As always, please don't forget to subscribe and write a review.  Thank you for listening!

We all have dreams and aspirations, but how do we achieve the life we want? This week, we discuss just that. Join us as we share the evolution and journey of our professional careers and how we balance being a mom, mompreneurs and career women.  We share our tips on how to create and live the life you want!

As moms, we have a lot on our plates.  Well, go ahead and add "keeping kids entertained" to your to do list.  For infants, it may be tummy time and block toys. And for toddlers, it could be dolls and cars.  Whatever the choice, we are often trying to find things that are both educational and will keep our children occupied.

This week, we discuss the various ways they keep our kids playing and happy. Listen in as we talk about easy tips for keeping the kids busy whether at home or out of the house. We also talk about how we manage screen time - which may be different than you think.

Episode Summary:
This is the final episode of the series Mother's of Black Sons. In this episode, I talked to Kristin, who is preparing her son for college. One of the things we talked about that resonated the most was her talking about how differently people see her son now that is has started to transition from a boy to a man.

About the Interviewee / Spotlight on Melanin :
Kristen is the mother of a 15-year-old Black son with dreams of the NBA, but she is also a very skilled amateur photographer and digital artist. She has an amazing eye and has captured some truly unique pieces.
