Hey, I'm Dom - welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm a mom of two tiny humans + a dog, but I'm not just a mom. Before I became a tantrum taming, diaper slinging, coffee reheating pro I spent my twenties riding and racing dirt bikes. I landed my dream job designing bike decals at the end of my "moto decade" and then at the ripe age of thirty, I became a Mom.
In my second post-partum journey somewhere between sleep regressions, snack negotiations and remembering who I was before babies, I realized I needed a creative outlet to just share. Not a perfectly curated highlight reel. Not just tips and hacks. But a space for the real stuff - the emotional, the funny, the tired, the who-the-heck-am-I-now, and the figure-it-out-as-I-go side of motherhood. Enter this blog - A Mom Named Dom.
DOMesticated-ish, if you will. Some days I feel like I have this mom thing figured out (or at least dinner), and other days I'm screaming into my pillow over-stimulated AF wondering how I've strayed so far from who I was just 3 years ago. And both days are equally valid.
This is not a how-to blog. This blog is a safe space where I'll be sharing:
The magic moments and the meltdowns
The real and raw side of post-partum
What I've learned thus far and am still learning
What's helping me feel like me again
Tiny joys and tired rants
All things motherhood and then some
If you've ever felt like you're doing it wrong - you're not.
If you've ever felt like you're the only one that can't stay on top of the mountain of laundry - same. If you've ever felt like your past self isn't quite fitting into your present self - I got you. So if you're an adventure loving, deep feeling, over-stimulated, domesticated-ish mom like me then this space is for you. If I help even one mom feel less alone then that's a win in my books. We're in this together... Thanks for being here ♥︎ Love,
Dom
