Mama Fresh is truly a movement. After giving birth to my son ObieQ I hopped around to different Moms Groups in Chicago but never truly felt like I found the one for us. Mama Fresh was born out of a need of community and resources at your fingertips. As a new mom, I spent hours combing various social media pages, websites and new-mom group texts to find activities for me and ObieQ. Before kids we were “women about town”. We don’t want our lives to change, just evolve! We needed a Fresh approach to this Mom Life. This is Where Mama Fresh steps in.

Seven. That’s the number of Santas we saw last year. We saw Santa at a mall, Santa at a park, even Santa in a hotel. All of them were great. ObieQ took the obligatory pictures and we moved on. But there was ONE experience that was different. An experience thatContinue Reading
Our honeymoon. That is the last time my husband and I have been on a trip together. That was in 2015. It was time. We are both busy. Our day to day lives are full of logistics. We needed to reconnect. When my husband first proposed this trip I askedContinue Reading
“I don’t wanna grow up..I’m a Toy’s R Us Kid” just reading those words should bring a smile to your face. You can imagine the joy I felt when I received an email inviting ObieQ and I to the new interactive playland “Toys R Us Adventure”. There weren’t a lotContinue Reading
It’s October. Temps have dropped. Leaves are changing. You’re social media is full of Mamas and their little ones in matching plaid shirts at a pumpkin patch. It’s Fall Y’all! I know what you’re thinking. “I am a cool city Mama. Is it worth it for me to pack myContinue Reading
“Longest Days, Shortest Years.” I heard this description of Motherhood while I was pregnant. I was on a plane, traveling for work, listening to a parenting podcast. I was doing my research. I was going to be prepared for this. I was 35. Too old to be walking into MotherhoodContinue Reading
Dear Hot Girl Summer, I am writing to say Thank You. The last 3 months we have spent together have taught me so much about myself and, as summer has officially ended, I felt like I wanted to put my feelings down on paper to tell you how much youContinue Reading
