Local Summer Meal Programs
Summer is officially here, and for some families, that doesn’t just mean “fun in the sun” — For some, with summer comes the uncertainty of their next meal. That’s why we have compiled a list of local food programs that are working to ensure that children receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.
The Ultimate Beauty Guide for Gulf Coast Moms
Let’s face it, mamas — We are the main decision makers for our families. The where/when questions when it comes to the kids’ hair, our beauty appointments, and even our husband’s comes down to us. We barely have the time to make the appointments, much less do the research to see what’s out there! So, we wanted to make the task a whole lot easier by providing a hand-picked list just for you. As always, if you see a business you love that isn’t included below, be sure to shoot us an email hello@thegulfcoastmom.com!

Smartphones and Social Media: How Soon is Too Soon?
Parenting has its challenges. Am I right? When I think about my own childhood, I can’t help but think about those Gen X memes reminiscing how kids would roam free from dusk to dawn, stopping only to drink water from the hose in the neighbor’s yard, and not coming home until suppertime, all without a text, DM, or phone call to our parents. It’s a stark contrast to today, where kids have the potential for living a completely digital life with access to a smartphone, instantaneous communication, and ties to the world writ large.
We may have the missing piece to your child’s health
