Talk about long overdue! Back in 2018-19-ish, my husband bought me a fancy Canon camera because I had the dream of creating video content to publish on Youtube. I was so excited, I thought I finally had taken a big step towards my goal. Well, let me tell you, I completely failed at that dream very early on. I hardly ever used my camera at the time, so much so that my husband thought he may have made a mistake buying it for me. I do consider myself a dreamer, I always have a new idea. But consistency and follow through can be really difficult for me, especially when life is moving at a really fast pace. Now it’s nearly 4 years later, and I’ve just now started to pick up that camera like I should’ve been doing years ago.

I am now driving myself into the land of consistent content creation. Not just writing on this blog from time to time or posting photos of my NICU miracle baby on his old Instagram that I don’t even use anymore. But I have committed time out of my schedule each day to create content – whether that be an Instagram reel or static post, written content, or YouTube video. I am more dedicated than ever, even though I still find consistency to be really difficult. I juggle a lot between motherhood, working a 9-5, being a house manager, wife, and still trying to do fun activities with my friends. This time around I made a promise to myself that I am going to keep going no matter what. That includes being vulnerable, and posting things that may not be perfect, but they’re honest and authentic.

Let me back up a bit and tell you how this all started. One day on Instagram, a close friend of mine sent me a direct message of a cute and funny baby reel. I really liked it, and thought it was so hilarious that I needed to recreate it. I did. It took me minutes, maybe not even that much time, to find footage I already had in my phone of my newborn baby and post it to Instagram using the same reel audio. When I woke up the next day, my phone’s IG notifications were off the charts. The reel had taken off, and I never expected it. After hundreds and thousands of notifications, I took that as a sign to start creating content with my kids. You know, what I attempted to do since my first son was born, and the very reason this blog was created. That very post now has nearly a million views and I have a few more posts with high numbers just like it.

Now that I am knee deep into creating content, it’s been a rollercoaster. Not all of my creations rank with high numbers. Some completely bomb, and I don’t mean with confetti! But I know I’ll keep going because I feel it is my duty and purpose to share honest motherhood stories that help parents and those who want to be parents. So that’s how we got to this point of uploading on Youtube to reach even more people. I don’t care if I get 20 views or 20 million, I am just proud of myself for not giving up on my dreams. It may be late, but don’t they say, “better late than never?”. I’m exactly where I need to be, and I hope that you love the work that I am creating.

If you have any questions about motherhood and beyond, don’t hesitate to ask. I hope to have something for everyone, so I fully embrace your suggestions and feedback.

Peace and Love, Kay.
