The Heart of a Mother, The Soul of a Writer

Why I Write My Motherhood Journey

I write to capture the unforgettable moments of my motherhood journey. Writing is my creative outlet as well as my way to keep a part of me alive on paper. I like to add a twist to my writing by creating poems, short stories, or narratives that encapsulate what I felt like at the time.

Motherhood is an ever-evolving tapestry of emotions, challenges, and triumphs. Each day brings new moments that shape not just my daughter, but me as well. Writing allows me to document these fleeting moments—to preserve them beyond the hazy blur of time. Every giggle, every tear, every milestone deserves a place in my story. It’s not just about keeping memories; it’s about honoring them.

A Legacy of Love in Words

There’s something sacred about leaving behind pieces of myself in written form. One day, when my children are older, I want them to have more than just pictures and home videos—I want them to have my thoughts, my feelings, my reflections on the journey of raising them. I want them to know the depth of my love, the lessons I’ve learned, and the ways in which they’ve shaped me into the woman I am today.

There is a beauty to the art of poetry. I find myself falling into its design often. Sometimes, to best capture a moment, a feeling, or event, all I need is 10-20 lines. It is also a challenge that I seek after: detailing a complete thought in a short poem. I love it. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Blending Creativity and Memory-Keeping

For me, storytelling isn’t just a practice—it’s a passion. I intertwine poetry, short stories, and heartfelt reflections to bring my experiences to life in a way that resonates deeply. Writing is my refuge, my therapy, my space to process the beauty and complexity of motherhood. Through creative expression, I give voice to the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with raising little humans.

Inviting You Into My Story

This is not just my journey—it’s ours. Through my words, I hope you’ll find a kindred spirit. I hope you’ll feel seen, inspired, and empowered to create your own legacy of love for your family. Through my stories, I invite you to walk this journey with me.

If you, too, feel the pull to document your motherhood experience, I encourage you to do so. Whether through journaling, storytelling, or poetry, let your words become a gift to your children and a source of comfort to yourself. Motherhood is a story worth telling, and I’m honored to share mine with you.

Why Every Mom Needs a Memory-Keeping Ritual

Because the little moments matter more than we realize.

Motherhood is a whirlwind. From the moment you take your first step as a new mom to the time your baby takes their first step, the days blur together faster than we can hold onto them. One day, you're rocking your baby to sleep and kissing their tiny nose, and the next, you're watching them run around the house. And if there's one thing every mom has realized at some point, it's this:

💡 The days feel long, but the years fly by.

That’s why every mom needs a memory-keeping ritual—a simple practice to pause, reflect, and capture the fleeting moments of motherhood before they slip away.

What Is a Memory-Keeping Ritual?

A memory-keeping ritual is any intentional way of documenting your motherhood journey. It could be as simple as jotting down one sentence a day, recording voice notes, or creating a scrapbook of baby milestones. It’s about preserving the moments that matter, in a way that feels natural and enjoyable to you.

Why It Matters More Than You Think

1. It Helps You Remember What You Swore You’d Never Forget

You promise yourself you’ll always remember their newborn smell, the way they held your pinky finger, or the sound of their tiny hiccups. But life moves fast, and memories fade. By writing them down, snapping a quick photo, or making a voice recording, you ensure those moments last forever.

2. It’s a Form of Self-Reflection

Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also overwhelming. Taking a few minutes to reflect on your experiences—whether through journaling, storytelling, or simply recording a funny moment—allows you to process your journey and see how much you’ve grown as a mom. It gives you a piece of your day where you are able to breathe in being a mom.

3. It Creates a Legacy for Your Child

Imagine giving your child a book filled with handwritten notes about their early years—your thoughts, your feelings, your prayers for them. One day, when they’re older, they’ll cherish these glimpses into their beginnings and see their childhood through your eyes.

4. It Helps You Find Joy in the Everyday Moments

It’s easy to get caught up in the daily routine—diaper changes, feedings, endless laundry. But when you pause to document a sweet moment, like your baby’s first smile or the way they grab your face when they’re sleepy, you start to notice just how beautiful these small moments are. The little twinkle in their eye is worth remembering.

5. It Strengthens Your Bond with Other Moms

Sharing your motherhood journey—whether in a journal, a blog, or a mom’s group—creates connection. Other moms can relate to your experiences, and in turn, you’ll find comfort in knowing you’re not alone in this season of life.

How to Start Your Own Memory-Keeping Ritual

The key is to keep it simple and make it something you’ll actually enjoy. Here are a few ideas to get started:

📖 One-Line-a-Day Journal – Write down one sentence each night about something that happened that day.

📸 Memory Box – Save small mementos (hospital bracelet, first lock of hair, a favorite onesie) in a keepsake box.

🎙 Voice Notes or Video Diary – Record your thoughts or sweet moments in real time.

✍ 5-Minute Memory Prompts – Use guided prompts (like the ones I will be releasing soon in my 5-Minute Daily Memory Prompts for Moms journal) to spark reflection and storytelling.

📷 Photo Stories – Pair a picture with a short caption in a private album or social media post to create a digital memory book.

Your Motherhood Story Deserves to Be Told

No moment is too small to capture. Whether it’s your baby’s first word, a chaotic but funny toddler tantrum, or a quiet moment of rocking them to sleep—every detail is part of your story.

So, mama, take a deep breath, grab a pen (or your phone), and start preserving these precious moments today. Because one day, you’ll look back and be so glad you did.

Welcome to Mom’s Memory Keeper: Preserving the Journey, One Story at a Time

Feb 20

Hey Mama,

If you’ve ever looked at your little one and thought, I never want to forget this moment—the way they wrap their tiny fingers around yours, the way their laughter fills the room, or the way they sleep so peacefully on your chest—then you’re in the right place.

If you’ve ever felt like the days are long but the years are short, this community is for you.

I’m Dominique, and I created Mom’s Memory Keeper because I know firsthand how fast this journey goes. One minute, you’re rocking a newborn in the quiet hours of the night, and the next, you’re chasing a toddler who’s discovering the world at lightning speed. And in the chaos of it all, it’s easy to forget the details—the little things that make your motherhood journey uniquely yours.

I want to help you to treasure and preserve one of your greatest stories, being a mother. I believe that your story should be on the lips and take place in the lives of your children, childrens, children. As a mom, we birth generations and in that, our story should be told.

Why I Started Mom’s Memory Keeper

A fun fact that many don’t know about me is that I wrote a book and published it in 2021! It was a poetry book that was based in my grieving of losing my father to cancer. The start of that adventure was exciting: I created multiple platforms, was asked to speak at an elementary school out of state during their black history month, was asked to share one of my poems at my college during one of their convocations, I even created short films around my poems. But it was all short-lived because I allowed myself to think I wasn’t good enough to get as far as I would like. So I put my pen down and with that, the end of my writing journey. Fear and doubt are killers of hope and faith.  

But now, after a gentle nudge by God to try again, the pen is back in my hand and words are flowing once more where I can share my love of storytelling and passion to inspire using the art of writing.

Like many moms, I was caught up in the daily demands of motherhood. Between feeding schedules, diaper changes, and trying to squeeze in a moment of rest, I found myself wondering, How will I ever remember all of this? I wanted to hold onto more than just photos—I wanted to capture the emotions, the milestones, the everyday magic.

I found myself longing for a way to preserve these moments, not just in photos but in words, in stories, in something I could look back on years from now. And I knew I wasn’t alone.

That’s when I realized: moms need a simple way to document their journey without feeling overwhelmed.

I didn’t want memory-keeping to feel like another task on my never-ending to-do list. I wanted it to feel natural, meaningful, and easy. Mom’s Memory Keeper was born from that desire—to help moms like you preserve their stories in a way that fits seamlessly into their busy lives. And to spark that flame within myself and write again.
