INTRODUCING
How many kids do you have and how old are they: I have two kids, and they are 36 & 34.
Q: Describe your motherhood style journey
A: I started working out a lot after giving birth to my second child and I remember wearing t-shirts, bike shorts and leggings almost everyday. I tried to dress better now and then, but I didn't really have a style back then.
"Looking back, I wish I invested in a few quality garments rather than a bunch of cheap ones."
Q: What's your style like now?
A: I like to dress comfortably, and I like to follow fashion trends and dress younger than my age. I refuse to wear styles that are "for my age."
Q: What is one triumph in motherhood you’ve experienced?
A: I raised happy and healthy kids who are living their lives according to their dreams.
Q: If you could give your younger self advice, what would it be?
A: Relax and don't worry about academics. It's better for children to grow up happy with high self-esteem, which both of my kids have thankfully. Play with them a lot and laugh with them a lot! Enjoy the two great human beings while they are under your care.
Q: If you could celebrate yourself for one thing, what would it be?
A: I’ve never thought about celebrating myself until now. But looking back on my life, I am very content and happy.
"For me, it's not about appreciating myself for one thing, but maintaining my personal wellbeing and love for my family is my way of celebrating."
Every month, we highlight a mom from the A Million Lilies community to discuss motherhood. Because, amidst the struggles of taking care of our children, we feel the most seen and supported after speaking to a fellow #momfriend. We hope sharing stories of women like us can help encourage other moms in their stage of motherhood too. If you want to share your motherhood story with us, please contact us at hello@amlilies.com
