A little bit about me

Proud mama to my strong, beautiful 3-year-old 💕

She was born a premie and faced more health challenges than most, but she’s the strongest little girl I know. Walking through those hard moments—and also experiencing pregnancy loss—has shaped me deeply.

Caring for her, and being around other children, has helped heal parts of my heart I didn’t think could be healed. Kids bring a kind of light that’s hard to explain.

Being a mom is everything to me, and it’s shown me how much I truly love and care for children. 🤍
