A Letter To Moms

Dear Mothers Who Want To Bathe Alone,

I've got just the song for you.
I just found myself creating it one when I was in a similar scenario as you.

"There you are fussing, unable to give me 5 mins alone. 
But little child, I just want to bathe alone. 
Please don't climb in. 

 I see you there, making me feel guilty for wanting this one simple luxury. 
You keep on fussing until I let you win. 
I can feel my resolve melting as I let you in." 

The scenario was my mom only 5 min shower turned into my son joining me fully clothes as he climbed right in. Yes, I am that mom that makes up songs and poems for the endless mother situations I find myself in as I learn to pick and choose my battles. Good thing all that singing and dancing in the bathroom as a child prepared me for moments like this. Who knew?

Just know you are not alone and they won't bathe with you forever.
One day you will have showers and baths uninterrupted.
And it maybe in those moments we will recall those fond or maybe not so fond memories 
of our little ones trying to climb in with us.
And it may tug on our lips to form a faint smile as we remember.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
