I often find myself feeling alone in the struggles of motherhood—whether it's meal prepping, wearing multiple hats, or carving out time for myself. And so I share my stories hoping that they will encourage another mom with the reminder I need most in this season.

So many things came to me as a surprise when I became a first-time mom—one of which was how lost I’d feel in the day-to-day routine of taking care of my newborn. The first few months were all about trying to survive between learning to breastfeed, which did not come naturally to me at all, and dealing with sleep deprivation.
How Happy Baes Began
I felt so alone.
So, I decided to make room for myself and the things I enjoyed while staying home with my baby: photography and photo-journaling. I documented the everyday moments with my firstborn, and that’s how Happy Baes started.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my joys and trials as a wife and mother on my platform—and I've been able to find some pieces of my old self while discovering some new I didn't know about before. It has been an incredibly meaningful journey - and I hope to continue this journey with you in the seasons to come.
and I found myself missing my old self more and more.
Then a couple of months passed and some more...
my Letters to
First Time Moms
Something I’ve been thinking about lately: maybe motherhood is the best gift given to us so that we can experience the kind of worth, competence, and significance in a way we haven’t before. One that is not - and cant be measured by numbers… one that is not about perfection but about grace and willingness to show up… and one that is so much more meaningful than anything else we’ve yet to experience. 🫶🏻
