About The Everyday Mother

On May 26, 2016 Jackie Mangiolino and her husband welcomed their baby boy, Richard Peter. He weighed 2lbs 2oz, was 14 weeks premature, and his birth saved Jackie's life. Jackie developed HELLP Syndrome, a rare, potentially fatal pregnancy complication only curable by delivery. The Mangiolino family spent 99 days in the NICU, it was there that The Everyday Mother was born. When Richie was in the NICU, Jackie kept meticulous notes while pumping. She needed something pen and paper, and easy to pop in her bag. Even more, she wanted it to be BEAUTIFUL, you know, to perk up the oh-so-glamorous task of pumping. At first, she created a simple template and printed it at home. She gave that template to lactation consultants and nurses, who then gave it to other NICU moms. She knew it was something special when she was sitting next to a mother using the template and was raving how much it helped her. After leaving the NICU, there were even more daily activities to track (diapers, naps, tummy time!). She expanded the template, had it professionally bound, and added beautiful finishing details. Enter, The Everyday Mother as you know it today. In her own home, The Everyday Mother is their family command central. Not only do Jackie and her husband use it, but their babysitters, doctors, and caretakers. It keeps everybody on the same page, and relieves me from having to remember all the details, all the time.Read their story
