Hello my name is Kennedy!

Before I became a mom, I was just me, a wife, a career woman, a creative, a music lover, and someone who could never sit still for too long. :joy:

I’ve always loved doing a little bit of everything. I love music festivals, crafting of all kinds, DIY projects, creating things with my hands, trying new things, and finding little ways to make everyday life more fun. Those are the things that make me feel like me.

Then Wesley came along five weeks early, and suddenly my entire world became 4 pounds and 12 ounces of love. :heart:

Becoming his mom has been the most beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, and rewarding chapter of my life. The NICU days, the sleepless nights, learning to feed him, pumping, nursing, bottle-feeding, and constantly wondering if I was doing everything right… motherhood has stretched me in ways I never knew possible.

And somewhere along the way, I realized something:

I don’t want to lose the woman I was before becoming “Mom.” I want her to grow alongside the mom I’m becoming.

That’s what MomAndMore means to me.

I’m a mom and a wife.
A mom and a career woman.
A mom and a crafter.
A mom and a music lover.
A mom and a creative.
A mom and someone who still has dreams, passions, messy hair, unfinished projects, and a personality outside of diaper changes. :joy:

My journey with Momcozy has been part of learning that taking care of myself doesn’t make me any less of a mom. If anything, it helps me show up as the best version of myself for Wesley.

Because motherhood isn’t about becoming someone completely new.

It’s about discovering just how many versions of yourself you can become while still holding onto the woman you were.

Wesley made me a mom—but he didn’t erase me.

He gave me another reason to become her. :white_heart:

MomAndMore is a reminder that we don’t have to choose between being an incredible mom and being ourselves. We get to be both. momandmore
