How has your style changed since becoming a mother?
It’s all about comfort and ease! I definitely went though a transition as far as finding what fit best on my new body after having kids, but even if I wanted to dress up, I need to be able to move and run around with my littles. I do try to keep my closet stocked with classics like great denim and white tees and vintage is always great and unique. But keeping things classic and simple helps to not have to worry about staying on current hot trends. I’ve also become much more aware of the quality of my clothes and wanting to invest in clothes that won’t fall apart.
What is your favorite thing about motherhood?
My top two would have to be, being able to experience everything through their eyes. Everything is new and the memories created are just so special! Secondly, a huge thing for me was being able to break the cycle of trauma that I grew up in and being able to give my boys the love that I always craved growing up. Through them I have been able to fully heal and create the family of my dreams.
What is your best piece of advice for new mothers?
Find your tribe! Connecting with mom friends that are in the same stage of life and want to raise their kids in the same way adds so much value and has been such a huge blessing. And being able to raise our kids together is so fun! While social media has some scary aspects, it’s been a huge part of how I connected with other moms.

What is your favorite thing about motherhood?
My favorite thing about motherhood is getting to love your whole heart outside your body. It’s silly to say it in that way, but it’s the best way I can describe it. Watching the joy and happiness on my girls faces and just being able to share an unconditional love is the best. I never knew what joy was until I became a mom. It also gives perspective of how much Jesus loves us the same way, and that just makes me so thankful to be a mommy.What is your best piece of advice for new mothers?
My best advice to new mothers is to take every single second with your kids like it’s the last one you will get. Life passes us by so quickly, it’s such a short time of them being little. So whenever you get overwhelmed by the sleepless nights, the endless messes, and pure chaos of motherhood.. remember this is the happiest time of your life.

How has your style changed since becoming a mother?
My style has changed since becoming a Mother in many ways. Just like the many different stages of Motherhood, comes many different styles and needs/wants for clothing. When I’m pregnant I love the look of flowy dresses that drape my baby bump beautifully. When I’m nursing a baby, all I look for are pretty pieces that will also accommodate easy access to feed baby, like a stretchy top that can be pulled down at the collar or a cropped look with high waisted pants to hide my squishy Mommy tummy. Toddler stage and beyond— is all about functionality and keeping up with busy kiddos while remaining cute and trendy! My go-to lately is all about beachy vibes. Flowy pants, with a bralette, a fun dress, or matching top/bottom sets! I love the opportunity to continually change up my style— Motherhood certainly gives me that opportunity!✨
What is your favorite thing about motherhood?
My favorite thing about Motherhood is realizing that God intentionally chose *ME* to be the Mother of my 4 incredible children! I think about it often and every time it truly blows me away, humbles me and even brings me to tears of gratitude that God entrusted me with Lazar, Mila, Leo and Metta! They are all gifts that I don’t deserve, but am honored to be called, “Mama” by each of them! Motherhood encompasses more than words could ever describe— it’s filled with emotions and indescribable feelings that can only be understood when you become a Mom— a gift God designed for women and one that I will always cherish!✨
What is your best piece of advice for new mothers?
My very best piece of advice to all Mothers— whether you are a new or seasoned Mama is… Trust that God has YOU exactly where you are intended! Motherhood is so uniquely special and designed by God that the enemy works hard to try and discourage us Mamas! But to believe that God is walking beside us during even the most mundane of days, is when you see the true beauty Motherhood encompasses! The second you think it’s “all on you” to be the perfect Mom is when your ship feels like it’s sinking. Rather, give every moment to God— thank Him for the hard moments, praise Him in the beautiful one! Invite Him into every detail and watch Him work! Motherhood is a blessing and acknowledging the One who created it will allow you to bask in the true beauty of it!✨

How has your style changed since becoming a mother?
My style has certainly evolved since motherhood. I’ve become a more confident dresser since having the girls! I don’t get dressed up as often as I used to and my hair is perpetually in some sort of updo - but my every day look has become a bit more elevated. I’m here for carefree pieces that look intentional.
What is your favorite thing about motherhood?
Having a front row seat in watching my daughters grow up! They are only with me for a short time before they go out on their own, so making sure I have as much time at home with them as possible has been huge. And of course, I love making them laugh and being silly with them!
What is your best piece of advice for new mothers?
Try to find a support system and stick with them. You will enjoy motherhood so much more if you have a village to surround yourself with. You don’t need gadgets - you need helping hands.

How has your style changed since becoming a mother?
Motherhood has encouraged and reminded me that it’s still so important to take care of myself inside and out. Getting dressed helps me feel more productive not only for myself, but for my kids and husband too. My style as a mother is a good mix of practical, casual, and versatile that will transfer and mix into every new season of life as my kids grow.
What is your favorite thing about motherhood?
The best part of being a mom is the unconditional love we have for each other. Experiencing the small moments that can’t be explained, characterized, or memorized. Those moments that make you savour the little people they are because you’ve just seen a glimpse that childhood is a blip and time truly does fly.
What is your best piece of advice for new mothers?
Parenting has nothing to do with perfection. Perfection isn’t even the goal - not for us, not for our children. Learning together to live well in an imperfect world, loving each other despite our imperfections, and growing has humans while we raise our humans, those are the goals of parenting. Don’t ask yourself at the end of the day if you did everything right. Ask yourself what you learned and how well you loved, then grow from your answer. That is perfect parenting

What is your favorite thing about motherhood?
They make me laugh. It’s utterly exhausting and joy-filled; parenthood is a paradox. But I can’t believe God has blessed me with 3 littles to raise & be good stewards of their lives.
