Mama life, New York, NY (2025)

11/05/2025

Some parents and grandparents didn’t always get it right.
They’ve seen the dark parts.
They’ve made choices they wish they could take back.

But one day, they decided their kids and their grandkids deserved better.
They got clean.
They started showing up.
They began breaking the cycle that once felt impossible to escape.

Now they’re the ones at birthday parties, at school plays, holding babies with clear eyes and steady hands.
They’re proof that change is possible.
That love can be stronger than addiction.
And that it’s never too late to become the kind of parent or grandparent they were always meant to be.

Some nights I lay in bed and replay the day in my head.
The moments I raised my voice. The times I lost my patience.
And the guilt starts creeping in.

But the truth is none of us wake up wanting to lose it with our kids.
We’re human. We get tired. Overwhelmed. Stretched thin.
That doesn’t make us bad moms. It makes us real ones.

So kiss them goodnight. Tell them you love them.
Tomorrow is a new day, and they’ll still reach for you in the morning.

Don’t judge a mom on her phone while her kids play.

She’s not ignoring them
she’s finally catching her breath.

Maybe she’s scrolling.
Maybe she’s answering messages she didn’t have time for all day.
Maybe she just wants to feel like her for three minutes.

Let her.
She’s earned it.

Sometimes the best thing we can give our kids is a little boredom.

Not every quiet hour needs to be filled with screens, schedules, or noise.
When they’re left with space, their minds wander and that’s where the magic happens.

That’s when they start building forts out of blankets, turning sticks into swords, and stories into adventures.

Less distraction.
More imagination.

So what if my job isn’t 9–5?
It’s 24/7 and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

It’s early mornings, late nights, and everything in between.
It’s messy, beautiful, exhausting, and full of moments I’ll never get back.

This work matters.
Because I’m not just raising kids
I’m raising hearts, memories, and future adults who will remember how they were loved.

My kid doesn’t just listen and obey.
They question me. They argue their point. They push every single button I have.

And honestly, it’s exhausting.
Some days I just want the easy “okay, mom.”

But then I remember
I don’t want to raise a kid who follows blindly.
I want to raise a kid who thinks for themselves.
Who stands up for what’s right.
Who isn’t afraid to speak up, even when their voice shakes.

So yeah, it’s hard right now.
But I know one day, that same fire will protect them.

Sometimes I catch myself feeling guilty when I mess up as a mom.
When I lose my patience, raise my voice, or realize later I could’ve handled something differently.

But then I remember my kids aren’t supposed to see perfection.
They’re supposed to see real.

They’re supposed to see me calm down, take a breath, apologize, and try again.
They’re supposed to learn that mistakes don’t define us… how we handle them does.

If they grow up knowing that even adults mess up sometimes and that it’s okay to say sorry and make it right then I’m teaching them one of the most important lessons of all.

11/04/2025

When we’re out and about my kids are perfect little angels
They say please and thank you
They listen
They smile
They make me proud

But the second we get home it’s like a switch flips
The sass comes out
The meltdowns start
The chaos begins

For a long time I used to think that meant I was doing something wrong
But I’ve learned it actually means I’m doing something right

They’ve learned how to be respectful and kind when it matters
But at home they finally feel safe enough to let it all out
Because home is their safe place
And I’m their safe place

They know they can show every side of themselves and still be loved for it

Moms shouldn’t even have to say “don’t kiss my baby.”

It should be common sense.

Newborns don’t have strong immune systems.
They can’t fight off the germs adults carry so easily.
What’s “just a cold” to you could land a baby in the hospital.

So when a mom says “please don’t,”
she’s not being rude.
She’s protecting her baby the tiny human she carried, birthed, and now has to keep safe in a world that doesn’t always think first.

Respect her boundaries.
You don’t need to kiss a baby to show love.

Before you ask a mom if she’s having another baby
remember there’s so much you can’t see

Maybe she’s still healing from the one she lost
Maybe she’s still waiting for the two lines that never come
Maybe her body has been through enough
and her heart just can’t do it again

Some moms are grieving babies they never got to meet
and the ones who were gone too soon
Some are sitting in waiting rooms holding onto hope
Some are quietly carrying the pain of infertility
of tests and treatments and dreams that keep slipping away

Others are still recovering from births that left their bodies aching
their hearts bruised
their spirits tired

We celebrate the bumps and the babies
but we don’t talk enough about the waiting
the loss
the silent strength

Motherhood looks different for everyone
Sometimes it starts with joy
sometimes with heartbreak
and sometimes it never starts at all

But every single one of those women is enough
Whether she’s raising a house full of kids
or loving the ones she never got to hold
she is still a mother

Always lead with gentleness
You never know what her story holds

Children really do mirror what they experience.
It’s not about lecturing them to be kind or respectful it’s about showing them how it looks and feels.

When they see you apologize, they learn accountability.
When they see you speak gently, they learn compassion.
When they see you set boundaries with respect, they learn how to do the same.

They’re always watching, always absorbing.
So even on the hard days, when patience runs thin try to be the person you want them to grow into.

When I watch my mom with my kids, it hits different.
She’s softer now. More patient. She laughs at things that used to make her sigh when I was little.

There’s something about seeing your mom become a grandma that changes how you see her.
The woman who once seemed so strict, so tired, so serious now she’s on the floor playing, baking cookies, saying yes to one more story.

It’s healing in a way I didn’t expect.
Because I see her now through grown-up eyes.
I see the love that was always there, even when it came out as rules or worry.

And I see how much she loves my kids how her whole face lights up when they walk into the room.
It makes me realize she did the best she could with me, and she’s still doing her best now.

It’s full circle.
The woman who once held me through everything is now holding my babies.
And somehow, watching her love them has made me love her even more.
