Finding my pink again 🌸
Now when I tell you I am obsessed with my children I MEAN it. I love the way they laugh and shout at the top of their lungs. I love the way they throw themselves on the floor because I started the banana peel for them. I love the way they cuddle me and say “I love you so much”. I love the way they throw their head back with that gummy smile when I kiss their chubby cheeks. I love every little thing about my kids. My heart is so full of love and laughter and I could not ask god for more because he gave me everything I’ve ever wanted.
All that being said. I still love me and all my little quirks and the things that make me, me. I would give everything I have plus some to my babies, BUT what about me? What about what I want to do to make me belly laugh or make me feel like I am more than a mother. This series is based on “Denver after dark”. When the kids go to bed. when the lights turn off and the sound machine turns on. When the adults get to cuss without nervously waiting for their toddler to say “ fuck off”😅
If you’re a mom that needs an escape or a break from ‘icky sticky bubble gum’ and wants to find her pink again. Follow along on this journey with me! Let’s find it together 🩷
As a mom myself, I deeply resonate with the feeling of giving everything to our children while sometimes losing sight of who we are beyond motherhood. The daily whirlwind of laughter, messes, and unconditional love fills our hearts — yet the quiet moments after bedtime can be a chance to reconnect with ourselves. Finding your "pink" again means reclaiming that spark, your personal joy and identity that might get buried during the busy days. In my experience, setting aside time after the kids are asleep to do something just for me—whether it’s journaling funny moments from the day, indulging in a small treat, or simply enjoying a quiet glass of tea—helps me recharge emotionally. This is the time when I laugh freely, vent without filters, and rediscover my quirks and passions outside of motherhood. I’ve also found that connecting with other moms who share this journey is incredibly uplifting. Sharing real talk about the struggles and wins after dark fosters a supportive space where we lift each other up. Hashtags like #momsupportingmoms and #momjustwanttohavefun are wonderful ways to join these conversations and feel less isolated. Remember, embracing your individuality doesn’t take away from your love for your kids — it enhances it. When we nurture ourselves, we bring more joy and patience to our families. So if you’re feeling wrapped up in the sticky chaos of daily mom life, I encourage you to carve out your own ‘after dark’ moments. Laugh loudly, be unapologetically you, and together let’s find our pink again.
