Hey, Friends! Welcome to a piece of my world. I’m Lynnette, stay-at-home mama to a young adult woman, two elementary aged boys and my toddler babygirl. I’m married to my high school sweetheart and we’re raising our family in the town where we met over two decades ago. I love cooking, reading, rewatching my favorite shows over and over again, and learning new things.

My motherhood journey began when I was just 19 years old. After spending much of my daughter’s early childhood years as a single mom, working full-time and part-time jobs while attending school full-time, I wanted to switch things up by the time I was married and pregnant with my second child…11 years later. By this time I had started transitioning to a more holistic lifestyle and naturally wanted to incorporate this new way of life into my pregnancy and parenting choices. I became a stay-home-mama when my first son was born and took a deep dive into all things natural, gentle and attachment parenting. As I researched various topics, I started seeing that it wasn’t easy to find moms who were making the choices I was making, especially not moms who looked like me. I was trying to find my people and I was having a hard time. So I decided to create this virtual space to share my journey in hopes that the people would come to me. And here yall are! I feel like I unlocked a secret world and was able to connect with so many amazing mamas with similar paths and interests.

I also created this platform because I am very passionate about normalizing things that black women don’t always know are options for them due to racial inequities, under representation and inadequate resources. Because even though you can’t really tell from a Google image search, we do birth at home, breastfeed, cloth diaper, babywear, bed-share, homeschool and raise vegan babies. Motherhood is such a unique and meaningful journey. As beautiful as it is, it can feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating without the right support. It is my dream for all moms to feel confident in the choices they make and have access to their people! I hope that when you’re here you’ll find solidarity in the fact that even if we are doing things differently, we are all just doing what we believe to be the very best for our families.
