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.

Why Every Mom Needs to Capture Her Story Before It’s Too Late

Motherhood has a way of moving at lightning speed. One day, you’re rocking a newborn at 3 AM, and the next, you’re chasing a toddler who’s suddenly too big for your lap.

The days are long, yes. But the years? They’re heartbreakingly short.

In the middle of the chaos, I am reminded that these are the stories—the little moments—that I never want to forget. And more importantly, these are the stories my children will one day want to hear.

The Stories Our Children Will Ask For

One day, your child might ask, “Mom, what was it like when I was little?”
And what will you say?

You’ll probably smile, close your eyes, and try to remember the details—the first words, the funny sayings, the way they used to crawl into your bed at night. But memory fades, and life is busy. Those moments can slip away before we even realize it.

That’s why I believe so deeply in preserving motherhood stories now, while we’re living them.

Introducing the Keepsake Writing Experience 💌

I created the Keepsake Writing Experience for moms just like you—the ones who don’t want their stories to be lost in the rush of daily life.

Here’s how it works:

✨ Tier 1: Keepsake Poem
A personalized poem that captures one treasured moment of your motherhood journey. Short, heartfelt, and timeless.

✨ Tier 2: Keepsake Letters
A collection of beautifully written letters—woven from your memories, wisdom, and love—that your child can hold onto forever.

✨ Tier 3: Keepsake Storybook
Your full motherhood journey turned into a custom storybook— a narrative storytelling keepsake that can be passed down for generations.

It’s more than just words on a page. It’s your legacy. It’s love in written form.

Why This Matters

When your child is grown and facing life’s challenges, imagine them opening a letter from you that says, “This is how much I loved you when you were small.”

Or imagine them holding a book that tells their beginning—not from anyone else’s perspective, but from yours.

These keepsakes become anchors of love. They’re not just for today; they’re for tomorrow, for years from now, for a future where your child may need a reminder of your voice and your heart.

5 Gentle Ways to Slow Down and Savor the Week as a Mom

By Thursday, the week can feel like a blur. School drop-offs, work deadlines, endless snacks, and laundry piles—sometimes it feels like you’re sprinting to the weekend. I’ve caught myself moving so quickly through the days that I almost miss the moments that matter most. But motherhood isn’t meant to be rushed—it’s meant to be lived, savored, and remembered.

Here are 5 gentle ways you can pause, reset, and savor the rest of your week—starting today.

1. Create a Mini Ritual

Light a candle, make your favorite tea, or step outside barefoot for five minutes. A small ritual signals to your body that it’s time to slow down. It doesn’t have to be grand—it just has to be yours.

2. Write Down One Memory

Grab a notebook (or your phone if that’s what you have) and jot down a single thing that made you smile this week. It might be the way your child mispronounced a word, a hug that lingered, or something funny your partner said. Tiny notes today become treasures tomorrow.

3. Step Away from the Noise

Even five minutes away from the constant scrolling or background chatter can reset your spirit. Give yourself permission to turn down the noise and breathe in some silence.

4. Connect with Your Kids in the Smallest Way

It doesn’t have to be a grand activity. Look them in the eyes when they tell you a story. Sit next to them on the couch without multitasking. Hold their hand a little longer. Those tiny moments are the ones they’ll remember.

5. Choose Rest Without Guilt

Rest isn’t a reward you earn after doing everything—it’s a need. Take a nap, put your feet up, or let the dishes wait. You’ll be a more present mom when you give yourself permission to pause.

Motherhood doesn’t need more hustle—it needs more remembering. The truth is, these small pauses are what help you capture the story of your days before they slip away.
