Woman with a plan

Find the silver lining. Mind if we take a moment to tell you about why we're here? We created Motherly because motherhood is hard—and beautiful!—and when we were dealing with ovulation signs, morning sickness and first-time momlife, we found ourselves wishing we had a community of women who just got it. So we created Motherly from nothing more than a twinkle in our eyes. Women are powerful creators. (In fact, we're sort of the original 3D printers. Get it?) Wishing you inspiration and confidence for whatever you're creating this week. We're so glad you're here. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Have you created a budget for baby? We've got a printable guide to that cash money .

Cupcakes are muffins that believed in miracles. By now you've probably figured out that getting pregnant, much like motherhood, is a journey. A journey that requires faith (in an invisible process that unfolds right below your belly button), hope (come on, baby!) and so much love. And honestly? Stress cupcakes. Absolute requirement. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. We're not saying you should FedEx Georgetown Cupcake's world-famous treats to your house, but we're not not saying you shouldn't, either.
