I love reading mommy blogs for this reason. The perfect guide and prep! Your transparency is appreciated Jemima.

"I was never a fan of kids before but after having my own, my heart is more open to them, not just mine." This truth gave me hope and just reassured me that it's not that I don't like kids at all I just don't have any of my own, so I am completely disconnected.

This was so delightful and relateable on so many levels. Motherhood absolutely changes us. And I actually love this new version of me that has been birthed alongside my child. And that’s a cause for celebration.

Thank you for writing this Jemima, it was so encouraging 🤎

I am SO glad I found your page. I love the genuine heart of your writing. I’m a new mom of one baby girl, but so much happens so quickly in new motherhood. I recently started my own Substack to candidly capture these lessons and sorrows and praises for other new moms. Thanks for writing honestly about how you experience these things. 🤍
