I See You, Mama: Gifts That Speak to the Heart of Motherhood

I saw a reel the other day reframing “mom brain.” Not as forgetfulness—but as a brain running tabs on everything at once:

Stocking snacks.

Scheduling appointments.

Swapping out winter clothes for spring ones.

Noticing the shoes that are suddenly two sizes too small.

After nine years of motherhood, I felt that in my bones. It made me think about how we support one another—especially the moms deep in the daily trenches. What does it look like to truly show up for each other?

Maybe it’s offering to bring dinner.
Maybe it’s checking in about something other than the kids.
Maybe it’s sending a card that calls out the quiet strength you see in someone—how she shows up again and again with gentleness, humor, or fierce love.

That’s the heart behind what I create at give with joy. Cards that celebrate, affirm, and speak life into the women around us. Gifts that feel thoughtful and useful.

And everything ships fast—so you can give with intention even when your to-do list is full.

Let’s celebrate motherhood this year not with pressure, but with thoughtful connection—even if it’s just a handwritten note or small gift that says, 'I see you. You’re doing beautiful work.'

with joy.
