Remember when feeding yourself was as simple as grabbing whatever looked good? And then you had kids, and suddenly meal planning became a full-time job you never applied for. Between “what’s for dinner?” on repeat, navigating everyone’s preferences (and aversions), and trying to keep it somewhat healthy without losing your mind—feeding a family is a lot.
Which is exactly why we created The Bite.
The Bite is Motherly’s new food destination, built specifically for parents navigating the very real chaos of feeding growing families. This isn’t about purees or first foods though. It’s about the stage where mealtime becomes the heartbeat of your day, from breakfast negotiations to dinner battles to the eternal question of what actually goes in tomorrow’s lunchbox.
You’ll find original recipes that work for real life (think: actually doable weeknight dinners), clever kitchen hacks that’ll make you wonder how you lived without them, shoppable features so you can stop hunting down ingredients, and video content that meets you where you already are—scrolling through social while your coffee gets cold.
Because here’s the thing: while food content is everywhere, almost none of it is made specifically for parents. The Bite recognizes that feeding your family isn’t just another task on your endless to-do list. It’s an act of love, creativity, and connection (even on the nights when “dinner” is essentially a deconstructed charcuterie board.)
“Food is one of the first things on parents’ minds when they wake up and one of the last before they go to sleep,” says Andrea Sexton, Motherly’s Head of Brand Partnerships. “We created The Bite to continue showing up for moms as their families grow. She already carries so much of the mental load, and we want to make feeding her family as turn-key, joyful, and stress-free as possible.”
The Bite is where practical meets joyful, where seasonal celebrations meet Tuesday exhaustion, where we celebrate the reality of family meals from the chaos to the connection, the mess to the memories. Because you’re already doing an incredible job. We’re just here to make it a little easier.
