About
Hi, I’m Julie!
A Mama of three little ones, seeking to find balance between being a stay-at-home Mom and staying in touch with myself in motherhood.
I have found that connecting with other women and sharing and showing support can make all the difference in our parenting journey. This stage of life is full of immense blessings, but also strains and stressors that we don’t have to encounter alone.
They say, raising children takes a village. My goal is to create that village here in this little corner of the internet. A social space to share and show the positive impact of women supporting other women.
I am an influencer. I have 3 followers. They are 4, 6 and 8. They aren't influenced by my social media feed, but my words, my actions, my mood, my daily choices, my willingness to grow, my patience, attitude and my reactions.
Don't forget who your true following is and how much your influence matters
ONCE UPON A TIME
I was an elementary school teacher with a love of creativity and organization. This career transitioned me into Motherhood
Becoming a Mom felt like a dream, my true calling. Everything was peachy, until it wasnt. Having my three kids back to back really took a toll on my mental health, physical deprivation and ability to stay connected with myself. This is so very common for so many of us, but the truth is, we aren't meant to disappear when our children arrive. Motherhood should add to who we are, not replace it! It's a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and a deep connection with your little one.
As a national pandemic plagued everyone's lives, I found myself completely lost in a new town, desperate to rebuild a village of support
In 2020, directly after birthing my third child, we relocated to a brand new city for my husbands job. I was devastated to lose the community and friends I had come to relay on.
This relocation and isolating circumstances sparked a passion in me to completely step out of my comfort zone and create a virtual village for myself and so many others, experiencing these same feelings. I decided to utilize the social networking and technologies surrounding us to establish a virtual space that wasn't dependent on proximity, but could be accessed no matter where we lived. In this day and age distance doesn't have to disconnect us.
I've been THERE, I am THERE and I will continue to be in the midst of mothering through all the phases and stages. I aim to share my authentic journey in the hope of inspiring, connecting and shifting the mindset of the social pressures on mothers.
Sharing your struggles and knowing your not alone is VALIDATING
