💌 Dear Mom…

Nobody posts the sink full of dishes.

But every plate tells a story.

A family meal.

A late-night snack.

A conversation around the table.

It’s easy to see chores as interruptions.

I’m learning to see them as evidence of a life I’m grateful to have.

The dishes won’t last forever.

The memories made around them will.

Love,

A mom learning to trust God one day at a time. 🤍

... Read moreSometimes, the simplest moments in motherhood—like washing a sink full of dirty dishes—hold profound meaning. I’ve found that these daily chores, which might seem monotonous or burdensome, are actually reminders of the love and life happening right in front of me. Each dirty dish often signals a meal shared with my family, a late-night talk, or laughter around the table. One day, I realized that seeing chores as interruptions only added stress to my day. Instead, reframing them as evidence of a blessed, full life shifted my perspective. It’s not about the tasks themselves but what they represent—connection, care, and growth. Trusting God one day at a time has helped me foster a grateful heart, even during the busiest seasons of motherhood. This mindset has made me appreciate the unseen moments, the sacrifices, and the small acts of love that build strong family bonds. The memories we create during these times last far longer than the dishes piled up in the sink. Embracing these realities with faith and gratitude cultivates peace and joy amid the everyday demands of a mother's life. For moms navigating the challenges and beauty of motherhood, remember: these tasks are not just chores, but chapters in the story of your family's journey. Hold on to these moments, and let them deepen your trust and growth with God.

Dear momma,
Thank you. Just thank you. . When they say a momma knows, a momma knows. As a first generation child from parents who are refugees/immigrants, we may never know what our parents are feeling or struggling to share with us. It's hard for them to speak on their trauma. So they don'

Dear Mom: When I was younger I didn’t understand why you would worry so much when I would go out with my friends and boyfriend. I didn’t know why you would stay up until I got home. I would always tell you “mom I’m okay” but now that I’m older & a mom of 2, I realized the worry and care and
