Remember that afternoon when you weren't expecting it at all, but out of nowhere your baby said his first word? And you wanted to tell the world, but you knew nobody else would be as excited as you?

Or that day in a packed restaurant when your toddlers struck up a make-believe sword fight with their butter knives? You were embarrassed, but then someone caught your eye from a few tables over, and she was smiling in a way that told you she had kids, and she understood what you were feeling.

It's these moments in our lives and a million more that inspired us to start PeaTot. Whether your first child is on the way or you have a house full of little ones, this site is for parents from all walks of life and stages of parenthood.

PeaTot embraces the difficulties and joys, ups and downs, and tears and laughter that make us who we are as parents. This is your outlet to share that 'first word' story with someone who gets it. It's the place where you can get to know that stranger in the restaurant and become friends. PeaTot is a reminder that even with all of the work and worry, having kids is all about having fun.
