Learning to Be a Mom — One Moment at a Time
Motherhood isn’t a role I was fully prepared for. No book, no course, and no advice truly captured what it would feel like to become a mom — to have your heart walking outside your body, to love so fiercely it scares you, and to feel joy and exhaustion so deeply at the same time.
And yet, here I am, learning to be a mother every single day. Not just through milestones and diaper changes, but through quiet moments, tough decisions, big emotions, and the kind of love that stretches you into someone new.
This space is where I reflect, record, and share what I’ve learned — and what I’m still learning — on this journey.
Why I Started Sharing
In the early days of motherhood, I often found myself searching for support, clarity, and connection. I didn’t want perfection — I wanted realness. I wanted to hear from other parents who were figuring it out in their own messy, beautiful way.
That’s what led me to start sharing my own experiences: the wins, the worries, the learning curves, and the gentle reminders that we’re all doing our best — and that’s more than enough.
Whether it’s parenting strategies, early learning ideas, or reflections from my own journey, I hope that what I post can bring value to someone else’s day — even if it’s just by reminding you that you’re not alone.
What I Believe In
🧠 Learning never stops: Being a mom doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means being willing to grow — with your child and for your child.
💛 Gentle parenting: Respect, empathy, and connection are at the heart of how I try to raise my child — and how I try to treat myself.
🎨 Learning through play: Children are natural explorers. I believe in fostering independence, curiosity, and creativity from an early age.
👩👧 Presence over perfection: It’s not about doing everything “right.” It’s about being there, showing up, and loving fully.

Becoming a Mother, Becoming Myself
Before I became a mother, I thought I knew what love, patience, and growth looked like. I thought parenting was mostly about caring for a child — feeding, teaching, protecting. I didn’t yet realize that becoming a mother would be one of the most profound journeys of self-discovery I’d ever walk through.
Motherhood didn’t come with a manual — and even if it did, my child would’ve rewritten it by day two.
Instead, it came with questions. With doubts. With sleepless nights and overflowing hearts.
And slowly, it brought me home to myself.
I Started Sharing Because I Was Searching
In the early days, I was constantly seeking: guidance, reassurance, community. I didn’t want to be told what to do — I wanted to feel less alone in the doing. I wanted to hear from other moms not just how to survive toddler tantrums, but how to hold space for them. How to care for my child without losing sight of myself.
That’s when I started sharing. Not because I had the answers, but because I was living the questions — and I knew others were too.
This Is a Space For...
✨ The moms who are learning everything for the first time.
✨ The moms who thought they had it all figured out — until the next stage came along.
✨ The moms who are trying to raise kind, curious, emotionally intelligent humans.
✨ The moms who sometimes need a reminder that they matter too.
Here, I talk about the messy beauty of raising children — and raising ourselves along the way.
Some days, that looks like creating sensory play stations and reading parenting research.
Other days, it’s a deep breath between tears (mine and my child’s) and a whispered “I’m doing my best.”
What I Believe
🌿 Parenting isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection.
I believe the most powerful gift we can give our children is our presence. To see them. To listen. To respond with empathy.
🧠 Every child deserves to be understood — not controlled.
I’m drawn to gentle, respectful parenting — not because it’s easy, but because it honors who our children are becoming. It teaches them to understand emotions, set boundaries, and navigate life with confidence.
🎨 Play is not just fun — it’s essential.
I love creating simple, engaging, open-ended activities that nurture a child’s natural curiosity. Play is how they explore the world and themselves — and it's how we connect with them on their level.
💛 We are growing too.
Our children aren’t the only ones developing. Motherhood stretches us, tests us, and if we let it — it heals us too.
My Parenting Journey Isn’t Always Picture-Perfect
I’ve lost my patience. I’ve cried in the bathroom. I’ve doubted myself more times than I can count.
But I’ve also watched my child learn to say “thank you” unprompted. I’ve felt their little arms wrap around my neck in a moment of pure, unconditional love.
I’ve learned that some of the best parenting moments happen off-camera — in quiet rooms, in car rides, in bedtime stories.
And I’ve come to believe that vulnerability is not a weakness in parenting — it’s a strength.
What You'll Find in My Space
Reflections on the emotional side of parenting: how to stay soft in a hard world
Early learning ideas and sensory play activities that support development and joy
Honest conversations about motherhood, mental health, and identity
Gentle reminders that you are enough — exactly as you are
You’re Not Alone Here
If you’re reading this, maybe you’re looking for something, too — ideas, support, inspiration, or just a moment of understanding. I hope this space gives you that.
Motherhood is not meant to be done in isolation. We are meant to share — stories, wisdom, encouragement, and grace.
So take what you need. Leave what doesn’t fit. And know that someone out here sees you — and is walking alongside you, too.
Thanks for being here. Thanks for being you.
Let’s grow, learn, and love through this season — one beautifully imperfect day at a time.
💛 From one mom to another — you’ve got this.
