Who is she?

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

I’m a mom in her 20s living in Orange County, navigating life with a toddler boy on my hip and a newborn baby girl in my arms, I'm not kidding. So there is almost always a latte within reach. I was the first in my friend group to get married and start a family, which means much of this journey has been learned in real time.

A lot of my motherhood journey has been trial and error. I have figured things out as I go, and now I am here to share what I have learned so you do not feel like you are flying blind! From sleepless nights to messy milestones, I talk openly about the real and sometimes challenging side of motherhood. But this space is not only about mom life. Becoming a mom changed my world, but it did not erase who I am.

I still love shopping for the perfect pair of shoes, testing out new makeup, and indulging in the little things that make me feel like myself. Moms deserve to feel like the multi dimensional, humans they are and not just the person behind the diaper bag. I started this blog to offer an unfiltered look at the rollercoaster of motherhood and pass along beauty and fashion tips that actually fit into real life. 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, I am so glad you are here!
