Forget the books and manuals — here's how parenthood gets REAL. Welcome to your New Parent Orientation — Holderness style. We teamed up with our favorite veteran parents, Penn and Kim Holderness, and asked them to tell it like it is about becoming a parent and what really matters. Silver rattles? High Chairs? Who needs them? While some may seem unconventional, many veteran parents can relate and will agree that you never stop learning.
It's not about the toys, baby showers and cute outfits. When you become a parent, your outlook on life can shift dramatically. It's with that understanding that we created a variety of resources for parents and growing families. From budgeting to college to financial tips, we hope you'll find useful information here.
