Who is she?

I’m glad you asked! I’m Samantha, but just call me Sam.

I’m a 26-year-old first-time mom living in Orange County, navigating life with a baby on one hip and a latte in hand. Here’s the thing: I’m a first-time mom and the first in my friend group to get married. That means I’ve been figuring this all out as I go—I’m flying blind so you don’t have to. From sleepless nights to messy milestones, I’m here to share the honest (and sometimes challenging) side of motherhood.

But this blog isn’t just about mom life. I’m a firm believer that being a mom doesn’t mean losing yourself. Motherhood may have changed my world, but it didn’t erase who I am. I’m still someone who loves shopping for the perfect pair of shoes, obsessing over the newest makeup, and indulging in guilty pleasures. Moms deserve to feel like the fabulous, multi-dimensional humans they are, not just the person behind the diaper bag.

I launched this blog to share my favorite finds, give you an unfiltered peek into the rollercoaster ride of mom life (the good, the bad, and the laugh-until-you-cry moments), and spill all my beauty and fashion secrets.

I want to give you a glimpse into what it’s really like balancing motherhood, marriage, and just being me. So whether you’re here for style inspo, a little life advice, or just to know you’re not alone—welcome.
