AlexiskristianaComing back to the city where my motherhood journey started and getting to bring the community I’ve built online into a room together in real life felt full circle in a way I’m still processing…. When I started sharing my life here in 2019/2020, I was simply looking for connection during a time when so many of us felt disconnected during the pandemic. I had no idea what that little corner of the internet would become. More than 250K (across platforms )of you later, this platform has grown into something so much bigger than I could have imagined. And today felt like alignment… There was a season when I knew I wasn’t where I was supposed to be. Things felt off. I wasn’t happy. And I’ve learned that sometimes choosing yourself as a mother means being willing to change the life around you, too. Coming back to NYC has been that for me. Today, I got to host my first NYC parent community event, hug so many of you, watch our kids play together, and see this community exist beyond a screen. To everyone who has been here since the beginning, and everyone who just found me a few months ago: thank you. And to every person who came out today, thank you for showing up, connecting, and making this first event so special. Today was another reminder that choosing your happiness as a mom matters. Because when you start pouring back into yourself, you might be surprised by what you’re able to build around you. 🥹 Thank you so much @the House of Noa _ for partnering with me to bring this event to life and @Parkish for welcoming us into your beautiful space. And a HUGE thank you to everyone else who helped make our first community event so special: @dayseestudio @nobiggieplease @owltreekid @wthn @barkandbrewnyc @colsonpatisserie First one down, and definitely not the last🤍 #nycmom #nycfamily #nycliving #nyc #momcommunity
