Mama’s Self-Care Tool Box
Resources and support to help mom feel her best
From the moment you find out you’re pregnant, you’re thrown into motherhood without any sort of guide book to help you along the way. There are physical challenges, emotional ups and downs, and an immense heaviness in the mental load of keeping it all together!
The the truth is, we all need support. Support from friends, family, our community (or “mom village” if you will!), and the professionals who are there to help. We like to think of this collection of resources as our self-care toolbox.
On any given day, Mama reaches for one of her tools to help get her through, which could mean turning on happy music and dancing in her kitchen until her mood lifts, running a hot bath and asking her partner to watch the kids for a half hour so she can hear herself think, skipping out on a social event to go for a long walk to keep herself healthy or tapping into a professional resource to seek a specific type of guidance.
We thought it would be helpful - as moms ourselves - to pull together a collection of tools that we find helpful, hoping that one of the resources below might help another Mama find the support she needs as well. Because let’s be honest, if Mama isn’t feeling her best, the whole family will feel a little lost.

connect with other mom friends
The power of connection is real. Text a friend, mail a handwritten note, schedule a coffee date, plan a Mom’s night out. Reach out to your “Mom tribe” and remember you are never alone. And for your very best Mom friend, send a thoughtful gift that’s just for her.
“Put yourself at the top of your to do list every day and everything else will fall into place.”
Shop extra love & support gifts
There are certain times when Moms need a special level of love and support. Struggles with infertility, a baby who is born too early, a sick infant or a pregnancy that ends in loss are all extremely difficult and emotional life experiences that make us - as the friends and family standing by - want to do anything we can to provide comfort. If you find yourself in the situation of wanting to provide a Mama with extra love and support during a particularly trying time, but you’re also not quite sure what to do, we have a few carefully crafted ideas on our Extra Love & Support page.
