Hello mommies!

I am a 22 year old new mom on the block! Those of you who may not know me are probably wondering “what can a 22 year old NEW mom tell me about mommy-hood that I do not already know?” Well, I may not have all the answers on how to be a mom, but that is the very reason I created MommysBreak. Since I have become a mother, my number one aspiration has been to be the best version of me for my son. I recently graduated with a BA in Criminal Justice from Grand Valley State University. I am originally from Chicago, IL but have spent most of my life here in Michigan (8 years in Kalamazoo, and 4 in Grand Rapids). I am engaged with a new baby of 2 months. My vision for MommysBreak is for moms to gain a sense of empowerment and confidence with the support of other moms. Being a mom is a day to day job that does not come with a how to manual.

Although, I am new to this job, I know that mothers frequently lack the support that they need. I wanted to create a space where support is available to all moms. Most support groups target “single moms” or “teen moms,” but I thought, what about married moms, engaged moms, moms with doubles, adoptive moms, 1st time moms, step-moms, older moms, stay at home moms, working moms. I mean I just thought, what about ALL moms. Society tends to assume that if you are not single or a teenage mother then maybe you have it all figured out and do not require extra support. I will be the first to let society know that this is untrue. I hope MommysBreak will create an outlet and/or a new found platform for moms to feel supported!
