The Mama Club

Before I had Rory someone explained motherhood as being part of a special club that you don’t understand until on that side of things.

I was completely surprised by the joy Rory and motherhood brought to my life. I did not realize how much fun I would have being in this club — it never dawned on me that the “mom club” could be the cool kids club!

I thought I’d take a second to welcome this new lady to the mama-club. Her family celebrated with the above Mellen invite as they awaited this precious little boy. We’re so glad he’s here now!

Anne Dean is absolutely beautiful as a new mom. I find women doing their thing as mothers to be so inspiring (in this case, Anne Dean is a local yogi celebrity in Lexington: her blog). Thanks sweet mama for showing us how you love your little one so well and are also being wonderful you.

Too often I think we envision life as mothers as worried, dried-up, crazed, emotional train-wrecks. No wonder I was scared to join the club.

This. is. simply. not. the. case.

I am my best self as a mother.

And of course some days are all that yuck and more. But let’s give moms a break – I look back at my  22 year old self, and I was a crazed, emotional train-wreck at times; I just hadn’t dried-up quite yet!

I tease, and conclude with the following ladies who are no doubt in “the cool club.”

These women and more mom-spiration can be found on HeyMama. I follow them on the Insta.

And if you are soon to be joining this Mama club, get excited for a thrilling and fun ride.

And… don’t forget Mellen for your baby paper needs.
