Hi friends,
I hope life is treating you gently. Over here, life has been its usual swirl of motherhood, client work, and trying to carve out five minutes for myself without someone needing a snack, a nap, or a Daniel Tiger episode.
In the midst of it all, I’ve been working on some new stories and planning a few upcoming projects—and I wanted to share a quick roundup of what’s coming up in case anything sparks collaboration. Whether you’re a publicist, fellow writer, brand founder, or longtime reader—I always love hearing from you.
Here’s what I’m currently working on:
NYC Restaurants & Experiences Open to Media
I’ll be in New York City mid-September for a trip—with my husband, not the kids! We’re looking to dine, explore, and spotlight a few memorable experiences. Think wine bars, tasting menus, cozy date night spots, hidden gems, and high-concept restaurants with a story to tell.
If you’re working with restaurants or experiences open to hosting media, I’d love to connect. Please reach out: tigar.lindsay@gmail.com
Product Round-Up: Travel Gear That Makes Life Easier with Kids
I’m writing a comprehensive guide to making travel easier with young kids—and I want real solutions that parents actually use. From smart snack storage to compact white noise machines, creative toys, and gear that eases the in-transit chaos, I’m looking for it all. Bonus if you’re Amazon-friendly for affiliate inclusion, but not required.

Essay in Progress: Losing Weight After Kids (And All the Emotional Layers That Come With It)
I’m working on a personal essay about navigating weight loss once you're done having kids—and the mental tightrope between wanting to feel strong and confident, while also setting a healthy example for your children (especially daughters). It’s raw, honest, and complicated—just like motherhood.
I’m currently looking for:
– Products that make sense in this space (fitness tools, running shoes, activewear, skincare, makeup, nutrition support, etc.)
– Expert sources, including psychologists, therapists, or body image experts who can speak to this stage of motherhood and identity
If you have a product or expert to pitch, email me at lindsay@milaandjomedia.com with the subject line: Post-Baby Weight & Identity
Seeking: Breastfeeding Essays + Giveaway Partners for August Feature
The Mother Chapter is now accepting first-person essays exploring the complex, emotional, and very personal reality of breastfeeding—including the parts that don’t go as planned. We’re especially looking for honest stories around identity, postpartum shifts, and feeding choices that deviate from expectations.
We’re also lining up brand partners for a month-long giveaway. If your brand supports postpartum moms—whether through lactation support, combo feeding, formula feeding, or emotional care—we’d love to hear from you.
