The Things That Surprised Us Most About Being Moms

The Things That Surprised Us Most About Being Moms

Motherhood has a way of teaching us things we never saw coming. In today's chat, we're sharing some of the biggest surprises we've experienced as mothers—from the challenges that caught us off guard to the unexpected joys, lessons, and moments that have shaped us along the way. As a mother and daughter, we've experienced motherhood from different seasons of life, and we're reflecting on what has surprised us most, how our expectations changed, and the things we wish we had known earlier. Grab a cup of coffee and join us for an honest conversation about the beautiful, messy, and surprising journey of motherhood.

The Weight Of Ordinary Things

We've often talked about how life is made up of ordinary moments. Sometimes those moments become the place where we feel loss most deeply. Katee wrote this poem about grief, change, and the quiet work of carrying both love and loss into everyday life.

Recapturing that summertime magic

Today we're talking about summer—what it felt like growing up, the memories that have stayed with us, and the little things that made the season feel special.

Creative Things To Do Instead Of Scrolling

Today we’re talking about creativity, scrolling, and the little things we can reach for instead of automatically grabbing our phones. We’re sharing some simple creative hobbies and also talking about the idea of keeping a little “creativity basket” nearby with easy things to make, read, draw, or work on when you have quiet moments throughout the day.
