Notes From The Community

There’s just something about ice cream, the way it melts into summer afternoons, the sweet smiles it brings, and the sticky fingers that somehow make everything feel like childhood. On National Ice Cream Day, we’re not just indulging in a frozen treat… we’re savoring moments that turn into memories. In the chaos and beauty of parenting, these little traditions remind us to pause and enjoy the sweetness of right now.

Let’s be honest: some days as a parent, it’s hard to find the right words. But a simple “❤️” to a friend, a “💪” from your partner, or a “🥹” in a mom group chat can speak volumes. Emojis give us a way to be seen, heard, and understood, even when we’re tired, touched out, and texting with one hand while holding a baby with the other.

There’s something undeniably comforting about chocolate. Whether it’s a square of dark chocolate savored after the kids go to bed, a...

Parenting is full of serious moments, but today is a gentle reminder that joy doesn’t have to be complicated. A goofy grin, a knock-knock joke, or a belly laugh around the dinner table can lift spirits and strengthen your connection as a family.

Presence is powerful.

Motherhood doesn’t begin at birth, it begins with love.

Becoming a mother is often described as the most beautiful, miraculous time of life. But what we don’t always talk about is how emotionally disorienting it can be. You may feel joy and grief in the same breath. Love that takes your breath away and loneliness that knocks the wind out of you. You may cry for no clear reason, or feel numb when you thought you’d be overflowing. This emotional swirl is common and valid....

There’s a powerful myth that still lingers in motherhood, the idea that a “good mom” should be able to do it all on her own. But the truth is, raising a baby isn’t a solo act. It’s a human experience meant to be shared, supported, and surrounded by community. When you become a mom, your world shifts dramatically. Physically, emotionally, mentally, everything changes. And while your love for your baby may run deep, so does your need for support.

Having a baby changes everything and that includes your relationship. The sweet, sleepy newborn in your arms may feel like the center of the universe, but just outside that circle is a partnership trying to adjust, reconnect, and make sense of this brand-new chapter. For many couples, postpartum isn’t just about figuring out how to be parents, it’s about figuring out how to still be partners in the midst of it all.

Because your body didn’t bounce back, it moved forward. After having a baby, it’s easy to focus on what’s changed. The softness where...

The moment your baby is placed on your chest, something extraordinary happens. That simple act, bare skin against bare skin, isn’t just sweet. It’s powerful.

A gentle reminder that your rest matters, too. Sleep often feels like the first thing to go when motherhood begins. From night feedings...

As mothers, we give so much! Our time, our energy, our attention, our love. We’re caregivers, nurturers, peacekeepers, and planners. And while we often hear the phrase “You can’t pour from an empty cup,” there’s another truth that gently nudges us forward: What you pour in is what you pour out.

This body grew life. This body deserves gentleness.

It’s okay to love motherhood deeply and grieve parts of it too.

In a world that shouts big milestones, motherhood invites us to notice the small ones.

Birth stories are layered, they are complicated, beautiful, painful, powerful. Maybe it was magical. Maybe it was traumatic. Maybe it was...

Not because you can plan for every moment (you can’t), but because you are worthy of care, preparation, and softness too.

As we prepare to open the doors to Community Motherhood  on May 12th , we can’t help but feel the beautiful alignment of our launch with...

When the mental load is heavy, when your body is tense, when your mind is racing, come back to your body.
