“You are seen. You are cherished. You are not walking this road alone.”
I created Mom Diaries with one simple hope: that while you’re busy caring for your little one, you remember to care for yourself, too.
I wanted to create a space where you can pause, breathe, reflect and see that you are growing too.
These pages are for the woman becoming. For the moments worth remembering, the feelings worth acknowledging, and the little pieces of you that deserve to be held onto.
I hope Mom Diaries feels like a gentle companion through your first year of motherhood.

It started with a simple wish
That no mom should feel alone in this season.
Mom Diaries was created by the help of the Holy Spirit with a simple wish. That no mom should feel alone in this season.
Often times, when a baby arrives, everyone’s attention shifts toward the child and sometimes the mom is neglected. There are visits, gifts and questions centered around the health and wellbeing of the baby. In the midst of all that love and attention, the mom’s feelings and mental wellbeing often go quietly unnoticed. In this period, she is healing, adjusting, rediscovering who she is, caring for everything and everyone, and rarely gets the attention she needs just for herself.
Mom Diaries was born out of a deep desire to help with that. To love up on new moms navigating post-partum. To hand them something that says, in plain words, God is with you all the way, you are seen, you are cherished, and you are definitely not walking this road alone. The journal focuses on the healing of her mind, her body and her identity.
It began as a few scribbled pages and a conviction that wouldn’t let go. Not a business plan but more of a deep sense of calling. Somewhere a mom can find calm and peace on the days she has nothing left to give and no one really notices.
“What do you mean, ‘If I can?’ Anything is possible if a person believes.”
Mark 9:23
This scripture has carried this project from the first page to the last. Mom Diaries is built on the belief that God has fully equipped every mom just for this purpose. Some days may be heavier than others but through the sleepless nights, the quiet sacrifices, the secret tears, the grief; God sees you and your story deserves its own space in this journal.
