Home / first-time mom
You deserve hugs, love, recognition and so much more. But I will settle for the next best thing, which is to write you a little love letter.
You are the incredible gift who gave me my cherished title of ‘mother.’
When my daughter arrived and my world flipped upside down overnight I was totally knocked out of breath. To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. And I continue to be on a daily basis.
You will wonder why you can do calculus, but nobody ever taught you how to cook one-handed while holding a newborn attached to your breast.
It's totally normal to feel like you don't know what you're doing at first.

When we see a fellow mama in that place, we need to remember to step up, step in, step out of our comfort zone… and be that mom.
The truth is, motherhood is a major adjustment that takes time.
We don’t have control over perfect timing or unexpected twists. Our only option is to take things as they come.
Once you cross that threshold of attaching your heart to your baby’s heart, you’re in this sisterhood of motherhood.
And you deserve that latte.
The newborn season is heartbreakingly short, and I was determined to enjoy as many moments as I could—and I did.
