A Mother’s Legacy

Born Together: Two Hearts, One Journey

A Poetry Series Of A Mother’s Journey For Her Daughters Remembrance

Some moments in life shape us so profoundly that we are never the same again. Motherhood was that moment for me.

I remember the morning my world shifted—the moment I discovered I was pregnant. I was going to be a mother. It was a quiet yet monumental moment, filled with emotions too vast to capture in a single breath. From that day forward, my life became a journey of not only growing my child inside of me but growing into the mother she would need.

The Legacy I Am Leaving

This series, "Born Together: Two Hearts, One Journey," is my love letter to my daughter. Through poetry, I will capture the journey from when I discovered her to the toddler she is today, and beyond. This series will grow as she does.

This is more than a collection of words—it is a safekeeping of our story, an intimate and vulnerable look into the thoughts and feelings that shaped me as I became a mother.

One day, when she is older, she will read these poems and know that she was loved deeply, fiercely, and completely. She will also get a deeper insight into how I grew as her mom.

I want to remember who I was, how I grew, who she was, and how she grew. I want the flow of my words to carry on far past me and be a collection of love for my daughter.

Mamma, This Series Is Also For You!

But this series is not just for her—it is also for every mother who has ever carried love in her womb, in her arms, in her prayers. I want to encourage mothers who want to preserve the sacred moments, to create a keepsake of their own, a story their children can hold onto long after tiny hands have outgrown theirs.

I invite you, fellow mothers, to walk this journey with me into my world of motherhood.

I also encourage you to write your own story. To document the moments, the emotions, and the growth—both yours and theirs.

Because the truth is, we were never just raising them.

We were growing, too.

Ways To Stay Connected!

This series can be enjoyed on my blog. You can also enjoy me reading these poems on my Instagram, Facebook, and Podcast, where I allow my listeners to hear the emotions behind the words.

Stay tuned for the first poem in this series releasing Thursday of this week!

I can’t wait to share it with you.

Until next time,

The Mom Memory Keeper

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.

Inviting You Into My Story

This brand launch has been exciting! Thank you for reading my blog, listening to my podcast, and joining the Facebook community.

Next week I will begin my storytelling series of: “A Mother’s Legacy” where I will tell my journey from the first moment I knew I was going to be a mother.

Why Every Mom Needs a Memory-Keeping Ritual

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.
