Why I Wrote The Motherhood Chronicles (and Why Your Story Matters Too)

Motherhood has a way of slipping through our fingers. The days blur, the years fly, and sometimes the very moments we swore we’d never forget begin to fade around the edges. That’s why I began writing The Motherhood Chronicles—to preserve the moments that shape us, and to remind every mama that her story is worth remembering.

The Heart Behind Vol. 1:
When I sat down to write The Motherhood Chronicles, Vol. 1, my mind went back to the beginning. That sacred moment when two lines appear. When the world tilts. When the future suddenly feels both terrifying and holy.

I wanted to capture that beginning—the moment we step into motherhood, even before the world around us knows. For me, that memory is a keepsake. For you, it may be a heartbeat you still carry.

Why Stories Matter:
Our stories are not just for us. They are for our children, our families, and even for future generations who will want to know: what was it like when I first entered your life?

When we write these moments down—whether in poetry, letters, or journals—we create treasures that last longer than memory.

Tips: How to Capture Your Own Beginning
Here are three simple ways you can start preserving your own motherhood beginning:

1. Write a letter to your child about the moment you discovered you were pregnant.

2. Describe your emotions—the exact thoughts, fears, or hopes you carried that day.

3. Choose one keepsake (an ultrasound, a test, a journal entry) to store safely with your words.

It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be real. 💌

Every beginning deserves to be remembered.

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.
