Hi, I’m Aeriel!

My journey into motherhood started out very unexpectedly. Me and my husband had been married for just under a year, me having just gotten a job working for the state (of Texas)- on a very typical state salary, might I add- and my husband having just lost his job. To say that we were unprepared would be an understatement! At the time, I hadn’t given much thought about a lot of the actual details that need to be determined when becoming a parent- I thought I had a few more years to figure this out! I was, however, fairly certain I wanted my baby’s birth to be natural. I really didn’t know what that would entail, but as I went through my pregnancy and the delivery of my daughter, I learned so much! I dealt with multiple challenges along the way including navigating dealing with new and/or unsupportive medical professionals and managing gestational diabetes- to say nothing about the challenges I faced once my daughter arrived! Through it all, God has been faithful and given me lots of strength and grace along the way!

Motherhood overall has been a huge learning curve for me, but because of the challenges I’ve faced and my passion for helping people-especially women!- I wanted to start sharing my experiences and the things that I’ve learned along the way. Whether you’re a new or soon to be mom, or you’ve been livin’ the mom life for several years, I would love to help and connect with you! Welcome to my world!
