I began Mama of Five during a season of my life when I craved something just for me. After graduating with a degree in Economics and starting my family shortly thereafter, my focus shifted entirely to motherhood. As a mom of five amazing kids, my days have been filled with breastfeeding (I nursed each child for two years!), navigating the challenges of raising a child with severe autism, and managing the everyday unpredictability of life with a big family.

Along the way, I’ve faced postpartum depression, the heartache of miscarriage, and the endless juggling act that comes with being a mom. I’m far from perfect—my laundry piles up, dinner plans often involve a last-minute scramble, and sleep? What’s that? But what I know for sure is that my children are loved, safe, and happy, and that’s what truly matters.

What began as a personal blog has now grown into a vibrant community of moms who remind each other that we’re all doing our best. Mama of Five is a space where imperfection is celebrated, and where we can let go of the pressure to be the “perfect mom.” Because here’s the truth: none of us have all the answers, and that’s okay.

Over the years, I’ve shared not only my stories but also practical tips, honest product recommendations, and encouragement for moms in every stage of motherhood. And in doing so, I’ve learned just as much from you as you have from me.

Mama of Five is about embracing the reality of motherhood—the messy moments, the joyful milestones, and everything in between. Whether you’re a first-time mom, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in the middle, this is a space for you.

From one mom to another, I want you to know: you are not alone. Together, we can navigate the ups and downs of parenting, celebrate the wins (big and small), and remind each other that it’s okay to admit when we need help.

With love,
Nina
