Highlights of 2013

Daily Mom 2013 In Review 14 Daily Mom, Magazine For FamiliesIn the beginning of 2013, a handful of moms and moms-to-be came together to create a space dedicated to sharing tips & tricks and inspiration & information about all things motherhood. In March, countless hours of hard work (and fun) culminated in the launch of Daily Mom. To celebrate, our 50 Days of Giveaways followed shortly at the beginning of April.

The end of summer yielded to autumn weather and our Daily Moms shared their favorite autumn photo ideas, Fall bucket list, and ways to celebrate Halloween. Several of our editors also traveled to Las Vegas for the 2013 Annual ABC Kids Expo to get a sneak peek of upcoming products and trends.

During the month of December our writers created the ultimate stress-free holiday planning guide for the Christmas holiday. Daily Mom writers also worked hard putting together gift guides for the 2013 season to help make holiday shopping a little easier.
