Who is she?

I’m glad you asked! I’m Samantha, but just call me Sam.

I’m a 27-year-old mom living in Orange County, navigating life with a toddler on my hip, a baby on the way, and usually a latte nearby. I was the first in my friend group to get married and start a family, which means most of this journey has been trial and error. I have been figuring things out as I go, and now I’m here to share what I’ve learned so you don’t feel like you’re flying blind. From sleepless nights to messy milestones, I talk about the real and sometimes challenging side of motherhood.

But this space isn’t only about mom life. Becoming a mom changed my world, but it didn’t erase who I am. I still love shopping for the perfect pair of shoes, testing out new makeup, and indulging in my guilty pleasures. Moms deserve to feel like the fabulous, multi-dimensional humans they are, not just the person behind the diaper bag.

I started this blog to share my favorite finds, give you an unfiltered look at the rollercoaster of mom life (with all the good, the bad, and the laugh-until-you-cry moments) and spill my beauty and fashion secrets. My hope is to show what it really looks like to balance motherhood, marriage, and still make space for yourself. Whether you are here for style inspiration, honest mom talk, or simply a reminder that you are not alone, welcome.
