Hi! I’m Lauren and I’m a mom of boy girl, fraternal twins. I felt really left out as a first time mom (FTM), because all the other FTMs I knew were having a boy or a girl. I felt truly happy and blessed having twins, but I also felt extremely left out. Not only was I trying to navigate a twin pregnancy and what it was like to have two babies, but I also was left feeling very alone in the #boymom and #girlmom era. Out of these growing pains formed the idea for Boy Girl Mom (BGM.) I loved that “boy girl mom dot com” rhymed - no joke, I was sitting on the couch feeding my babies when they were about 6 months old and the idea just came to me. I checked to see if anyone had the website and some short minutes later, the domain BoyGirlMom.com was mine. Of course it took me a year to do something with it, but I saw I need for this kind of content and I’m committed to bringing it to you. I want to create a community where I can share tips and thoughts from my parenting journey. I plan on sharing real time lessons I’m learning, products I’m loving, time-hack tips and more. There are also some tricks I have up my sleeve that I can’t announce yet (!!!)

Let’s back up a bit, shall we? Growing up with a sister in a #girlmom and #girldad household, I am very aware of why such groups exist. I get it. I hear it all the time from strangers… that I have the “perfect” scenario having a boy and a girl. My husband, Nick and I love having a son and a daughter, but we would have been happy regardless of the sexes. All that to say, Boy Girl Mom was created to include everyone. We don’t want anyone to feel left out! Sure it is a site for moms with both girls and boys, but it’s also for boy dads and girl grandmas, really everyone! There might be some topics or questions that don’t directly pertain to you, but isn’t that always the case? After all, kids are very different from each other - even twins! Personally, I love to learn and stock up on knowledge, regardless of it feels applicable to me. Who knows? It might help down the road! I wanted to establish a site that featured honest content with real life scenarios, thus Boy Girl Mom was born. Whether it is parenting on a plane or establishing boundaries with your bubbie, BGM is here to go on the journey with you.

I also asked that my husband come along with me for an extension of the BGM brand - The Boy Girl Mom & Dad Podcast (BGMAD.) We drop weekly episodes where we talk parenting, kids, and life in general. Be the first to know when we release never before seen information or publish new episodes, by signing up for our weekly newsletter. Both go out in the middle of the week. Trust us, Wednesdays will quickly become your favorite day! We can’t wait for you to join the fam.

XOXO,

Lauren
