I think people think I’m a terrible mother.
And I think people think I’m a wonderful mother.
Usually, it’s the kids who think I’m good at it—and the other moms who judge from the sidelines, assuming I’m too soft, too forgiving, too whatever doesn’t match their version of “good parenting.”
But they don’t see what actually happens in my home.
I shut this blog down to play it safe while I looked for a new job. But life kept moving, my kids needed me, and I started to feel like I was missing it all. This post is a raw, honest look at what happens when you finally stop scrolling, start showing up, and remember what it feels like to be here.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling the demands of motherhood, work, and personal struggles. I found myself lost in the chaos, disconnected from who I once was. But instead of letting negativity take over, I chose to rebuild my life with intention. In this blog post, I share the daily routine that has helped me regain my sense of purpose, boost my mental wellness, and embrace each day with renewed energy. From morning journaling to evening meditation, every part of my day is now designed to nourish my mind, body, and spirit.

I did a photoshoot for Sandi and her girls that depicted their personalities differently than a normal family photographer.
