Burned out Millennial Moms

The thing about being a millennial woman in 2023 is that as young people we were told we could do it all – we would be that generation of women breaking glass ceilings AND raising little people. 

So I find myself grieving that vision more often than I care to admit. 

I had such dreams of being a mom and a lawyer, of creating significant change and being patient with my kids – all of which feels too crumble each day. 

This fresh 48 photo reminds me of how I once thought it would be an easy transition into a career when Anna hit kindergarten – but it’s not really.

Childcare for 5-12 year olds is a massive gap in our communities that I wish we talked about more – we focus so heavily on supporting families in 3-5 years, and then they go to kindergarten and it’s like support rug is pulled out from under you. 

— signed, that mama who feels burned out on figuring it out.

Nest & Sprout is a Service

A friend stopped into the shop this weekend, and our conversation still sits with me. She had been an integral part of my early days in motherhood, and we chatted about how what the shop is not about the product but about the service.  And it’s that service of retail that I need to sit […]
