I’ve always wanted to be a mother. It is my biggest dream and my life’s purpose in a lot of ways. My daughter and any other children I have in the future are my greatest gift and passion and teachers in this life.

I think there’s no such thing as being a flawless mom. There is no way to parent perfectly, no matter how much we prepare or try, and the best that we can do is show up honestly and dedicate ourselves to educating ourselves and be gentle, loving, and kind with our children and ourselves. It’s progress, not perfection.

“I was not well informed before becoming a parent, but in the first couple months of Louetta’s life, as I started to deep dive and do a little bit more research, I was shocked at the amount of chemicals and toxic ingredients that most diapers and wipes contain.” 

I have been very lucky - so far! Knock on wood, we haven’t had any diaper disasters. But the reason I switched over to Pura was because I was using a very well-known fancy diaper brand and kept having leakage issues at night!

I think it’s very important to be conscious of the food that you’re putting in your body as well as your children’s bodies, As well as any skin care, lotions, or creams, etc.

The first piece of advice I always give to new Moms is don’t take anyone’s advice. And then the second thing I usually say is: “The best thing I could possibly encourage is to trust yourself. Trust your intuition - no one knows what your baby needs better than you. Not your mother, not your friends - no one!”
