Dear Diary, Mom life entry -

Sometimes I get asked, “How has your life changed since being a mom?” Quite frankly I can barely remember the girl I was before I became a mom… once I became a mom expectations became high sometimes unrealistically high. I used to be able to go hang out for hours on end or work long hours no worries now I have to make preparations hire a babysitter or ask family if they have any time to look after them. I used to have an unlimited amount of me time now I feel a little guilty at times for requesting to be alone so I can just soak myself in, to charge me. Life has changed so much good news is I have new friends now, and I'm never alone or lonely lol I get to watch how intelligent and smart they become every single day 💝

... Read moreNavigating motherhood is a profound experience filled with joys and challenges. As many moms can relate, the transition from a carefree life to one filled with responsibilities can be overwhelming. New mothers often face heightened expectations and the need to allocate their time carefully. Time once spent on personal activities may now involve scheduling childcare or seeking help from family. This shift often leads to feelings of guilt when taking time for oneself. However, many mothers discover that forming new friendships within the parenting community provides invaluable support and understanding. They can share experiences, trade parenting tips, and celebrate milestones together. Between balancing chores, family outings, and the occasional personal retreat, moms also find joy in witnessing their children's rapid development—each small achievement showcasing their intelligence and potential. The reflections in a simple diary entry encapsulate both the struggles and triumphs of mom life. By sharing these experiences, mothers not only document their own journeys but also connect with others, fostering a sense of community. This shared understanding helps to alleviate feelings of isolation, reminding moms that they are not alone in their experiences.

A title slide on a light background reads '10 SIGNS You're Not Taking ACCOUNTABILITY in RELATIONSHIPS' in black text with pink highlights, accompanied by a pink floral graphic.
Text on a light background states, 'You're not taking accountability in your relationships if you expect people to "just know" you didn't mean it instead of actually saying the words.' A pink heart graphic is in the corner.

Dear Diary! My most popular novella.
Louisiana in the 1940s was a tough time for many people of color! Slavery may have been over, but racism was still very much alive! Getting by as best you could with whatever you were given could be challenging! You’ll meet 11 years old Doris! She didn’t have much. But her imagination took her far!
