Where, oh where, did my nolaParent FB posts go?

By now you've probably realized that Facebook has made some changes and this makes you sad because you're like, 

 

"Where are all my awesome nolaParent Facebook posts?"

 

or

 

"What!? I didn't know about that wacky Conservative Mom Group calling for a boycott of Schweddy Balls Ice Cream!"

 

Don't worry. Relax and take a deep breath. Even though you might feel like you've been living under a rock, you haven't. It's just that some of the new Facebook changes affect how the Pages you've "Liked" show up in your newsfeed.

 

We know that you love nolaParent and want to continue to get our awesome content, some of which is only posted to our Facebook Page, so let's go over a few of the changes and how they affect you and what you can do to feel normal again.
