Remembering You in the Middle of Motherhood

Motherhood is beautiful—but let’s be honest, it’s also consuming. Somewhere between sleepless nights, endless snack requests, and the ever-growing pile of laundry, it’s easy to lose sight of the woman underneath the title Mom.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve gone “missing” inside motherhood, you’re not alone. Many moms I work with share that they want to be remembered—not just as a caregiver, but as a woman with dreams, passions, and a story that matters.

The truth is: your story is worth remembering, too.

Why It Matters to Remember Yourself

  • Your children will want to know the whole you. One day, they’ll ask about your favorite songs, your dreams, even the lessons you learned before they were born.

  • Your well-being impacts your legacy. When you prioritize yourself, you teach your children the value of self-care, resilience, and wholeness.

  • You carry memories no one else can. You’re the only one who knows the full story of their beginning. If you don’t write it down, it may be lost.

3 Simple Ways to Reconnect with Yourself (and Preserve Your Story)

1. Journal Just for You
Even if it’s one line a night—write something that reflects your thoughts, not just what the kids did. Over time, these become a treasure trove of your heart and mind.

2. Capture Your Voice
Record voice notes on your phone when a memory surfaces, or when you want to remind yourself of something meaningful. Later, you can transcribe them into keepsakes.

3. Write to Your Children
Try a letter that begins, “One thing I want you to know about me is…” This creates a bridge between the woman you are and the mother they see every day.

Good to Know:

  • You don’t need to be a “writer” to leave a legacy. You only need honesty and heart.

  • Tiny moments (the way your child says a word, the prayer whispered when no one’s looking) are often the ones that matter most.

  • Legacy writing isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.

Ready to Preserve More than Just Pictures?

This is exactly why I created the Keepsake Writing Experience—a way for moms to transform their memories, love, and faith into custom letters, poems, and keepsakes that their children can hold for a lifetime.

Because one day, your child will want to know not just what you did, but who you were. 💌

Closing Note

Mama, you are not invisible. Your story deserves to be seen, remembered, and passed on. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time—start with one word, one note, one keepsake.

Your story matters. And I’d be honored to help you preserve it.
