Life as a Mother

Being a mom is a blessing that not everyone gets to experience. It comes with its own set of challenges, but the joy and love that comes with it is immeasurable. As a mom of a one year old daughter, I have realized that this journey is nothing short of magical.


From the moment I held my little bundle of joy in my arms, I knew that my life would never be the same. The sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and spit up stains suddenly didn't seem like a big deal. All I could think about was how lucky I was to be entrusted with the responsibility of shaping and nurturing a tiny human being.


One of the most amazing things about being a mom is witnessing my daughter's milestones. From her first smile, to her first steps, every little achievement fills my heart with pride and joy. I have learned to appreciate the little things in life, like the way she giggles when I tickle her or the way she claps her hands when she sees me. These are the moments that make all the hard work and sacrifices worth it.


Being a mom also means being a teacher, a nurse, a chef, and a playmate all at once. It's a job that requires patience, multitasking skills, and a lot of love. I have learned to be creative in finding ways to entertain my daughter, whether it's through singing, dancing, or playing with her toys. I have also learned to be resourceful in the kitchen, coming up with healthy and delicious meals for my little one.


But being a mom also means putting my own needs on hold. It's easy to get caught up in the daily routine of taking care of my daughter and forget about myself. But I have learned that taking care of myself is just as important as taking care of my daughter. I make it a point to find time for self-care, whether it's taking a relaxing bath or going for a walk. This not only helps me recharge, but it also sets a good example for my daughter on the importance of self-care and self-love.


As a mom, I have also come to appreciate the support system around me. Whether it's my partner, family, or friends, their love and help have been invaluable in this journey. From offering a helping hand with the baby to giving me a break when I need it, their support has made this experience even more fulfilling.


But perhaps the most beautiful thing about being a mom is the bond that I have formed with my daughter. It's a bond that grows stronger each day and is unlike any other. It's a bond that is built on unconditional love, trust, and understanding. As I watch her grow and develop into her own unique person, I feel grateful to have a front row seat to witness it all.



Being a mom is not always easy, but it is undoubtedly the most rewarding job in the world. My daughter has taught me to be patient, resilient, and to cherish every moment. She has brought so much love, laughter, and purpose into my life. And for that, I will always be grateful.

Witnessing the Hard Work of Our Partners and Feeling Powerless

As I sit here at my desk, staring at the computer screen, I can't help but think about the incredible hard work and dedication of our partners. These are the people who have been by our side through thick and thin, supporting us and pushing us to be our best selves. They have been there to celebrate our successes and lift us up during our failures. Yet, as I witness their tireless efforts, I can't help but feel powerless. It's a feeling that has been creeping up on me for some time now. As I watch our partners pour their hearts and souls into their work, I can't help but wonder what more I can do to support them. I see the long hours they put in, the sacrifices they make, and the passion they have for their projects. And while I am proud of them, I also feel a sense of helplessness. It's not that I don't want to help or contribute. It's just that I don't know how. I feel like I am standing on the sidelines, cheering them on, but unable to join in on the ...
