Ma Maven | The Mom Without A Manual

Eight years ago I decided to change how I’d been living my life when my son entered the world.

This picture shows my first real glance at what that change would look like. I was 6 months pregnant, nearing the end of my beauty school days, and considering the direction of my new career.

Here’s a secret. All that I did know or did not know about being a good mom in this moment didn’t matter. Committing to consistently providing for and learning what his specific needs are was the key.

From that moment on I decided to do whatever it took to meet that commitment… 2,920 days (and counting) of evolving myself to the ever-changing needs of my son.

It leaves me to wonder. Who is raising who?
