Welcome to the Amazing Adventure of Raising Boys — It’s a Wild Ride and an Incredible Journey!
Real Stories from the Trenches
Tips That Actually Work
Hope & Humor
So, you’re raising boys? Grab a helmet and strap in!
Hey there, I’m Suzy Shaw — a mom of two boys, digital marketing consultant, TV producer, and voice behind the stories that make you feel a little less alone. And now, I’m here to share my experience — as well as some hope — with the Mothers of Boys or “MOB” community.
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change my parenting journey for the world. But let’s face it, no matter how parenting books and social media try to spin it, being Mothers of Boys is no easy task!
So, as a mom of two all-grown-up wild ones (for the purposes of this community, we’ll call them “Earnest and Exuberance”), I’m here to dish out the real talk, offer practical parenting tips, and provide enough humor to get you through the roughest days.
Mothers of Boys Survival Guide
But my book isn’t just funny, it’s honest.
From sleepless nights to that sweet moment when you realize your little man is growing up, this parenting book is for every mom who’s doing her best, will fail spectacularly, but when it comes down to it — will have loved every unpredictable moment of it.
Mothers of Boys Podcast
My weekly parenting podcast is quick, punchy, and packed with stories that’ll make you feel seen.
We’ll interview the experts on your behalf — yes really! Just send me questions and I’ll get the answers.
From the practical, like how to teach your son to pee in the toilet, to asking a pediatrician how to tell the difference between BOY and ADHD… nothing is off the table!
It’s like having a chat with your funniest friend over coffee (or wine, let’s be real). Tune in, laugh out loud, and get back to the chaos knowing you’re not alone.
Mothers of Boys “MOB” Community
Find your squad, share your stories, and proudly wear the t-shirt
Parenting boys is not a spectator sport — it’s full contact. That’s why we’ve created the MOB Community.
Raising boys was one of the greatest honors of my life, but I didn’t do it alone. I had a tribe of professionals, friends, and my husband to figure out how to juggle a career and child-raising.
The MOB Community is where moms like you get to connect and share those “you won’t believe this” moments.
Come for the solidarity; stay for the laughs… because when it comes to the question of “how to raise boys” — you’ll need plenty of both!
Honesty, practical tips, and a whole lot of boy mom content you won’t find in parenting books
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, so this might be the closest you get. But this isn’t about pretending to have all the answers; it’s about embracing the battles, celebrating the wins, and reminding mothers everywhere that they’re not alone.
