Fall 2023 Issue

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Modern Parenthood Journal, where thoughtful parenting meets everyday magic. Our very first issue is all about settling into new rhythms—whether you’re welcoming your first fall as a parent or navigating the chaos of toddlerhood with a warm drink in hand. We’ve curated practical tips, lighthearted features, and grounded guidance to help you embrace this cozy season with intention and heart.

Our cover story brings you a roundup of the best baby costumes—because who doesn’t love seeing little ones dressed as pumpkins, pineapples, or fuzzy woodland creatures? It’s not just about cuteness; we include tips for comfort, safety, and photo-worthy memories you’ll treasure for years. Halloween with littles can be equal parts magical and exhausting—this guide ensures more of the former

In “5 Tips to Help Your Toddler Sleep,” we offer expert-backed, compassionate sleep support that doesn’t rely on rigid schedules or cry-it-out tactics. Instead, you’ll find gentle routines and connection-based practices that nurture your child’s nervous system and yours. Because restful nights are possible—and peace at bedtime starts with understanding.

Also in this issue: our list of fall family activities is designed for connection, not perfection. From nature walks and kitchen adventures to mindful moments with older kids, you’ll find simple ways to weave joy into everyday life. Plus, we’ve included seasonal recipes, cozy home ideas, and heartfelt essays from parents in the thick of it all—just like you.

The Fall 2023 issue marks the beginning of a community grounded in presence, purpose, and possibility. Thank you for starting this journey with us—we’re so glad you’re here.
