When was the last time you checked in with yourself and asked, How am I really doing?

As moms, we spend so much of our time caring for everyone else that our own well-being can easily end up at the bottom of the list. Not because we don’t care about ourselves, but because motherhood, work, relationships, and everyday responsibilities take a lot of our time and energy.

But your wellness matters, too.

Wellness is about so much more than not being sick. It’s about caring for your body, supporting your mental and emotional health, nurturing meaningful relationships, and finding ways to feel connected to yourself and the life you’re living.

And while that sounds wonderful, I also know that some days just getting everyone fed, dressed, and where they need to be feels like an accomplishment. Because it is!

The good news? Taking care of yourself doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire routine or adding another thing to your already full plate.

Sometimes wellness looks like:
▪️Eating a nourishing meal instead of surviving on everyone’s leftovers.
▪️Getting outside for fresh air, sunshine, and movement.
▪️Choosing products that help reduce chemical exposures in your home.
▪️Making time to connect with a friend or someone who fills your cup.
▪️Setting boundaries and giving yourself permission to say no.
▪️Taking a deep breaths when life feels overwhelming.
▪️Going to bed instead of staying up to finish one more thing (or scrolling).

And sometimes, it’s simply recognizing that you need support and allowing yourself to receive it.

Wellness isn’t about doing everything perfectly or finding some magical balance where everything falls into place. It’s about making intentional choices that nurture your mind, body, and soul, honor your needs, and help you live fully in whatever season of life you’re in.

What works for one mom may not work for another. What worked for you last year might not be what you need today. And that’s okay.

You deserve to feel cared for, supported, and well, not just because you’re a mom and so many people depend on you, but because you’re a person who matters, too.

So here’s your gentle reminder to check in with yourself today. What do your body, mind, and heart need?

I’d love to know: What’s one small thing you’ve been doing to support your wellness lately? 💜

There is no one “right” way to be a mom.

We all come into motherhood as different people.

We have different backgrounds, beliefs, cultures, values and life experiences. Different financial situations. Different levels of support. Different physical and mental capacities. Different children with completely different needs.

And all of those things shape the way we mother.

What works beautifully for one family may not work at all for another. What feels right for me may not feel right for you. And that’s okay.

Motherhood doesn’t require us to all fit into the same mold.

We can honor our own values and make the choices that feel right for our families while still giving other moms the grace and respect to do the same.

We don’t have to parent the same way to support one another.

There is room for all of us here. 💜

Our September circles are coming up, and I’d love to have you join us. 🫶

I know it can be hard to get out of the house and do things sometimes. Life is busy, you’re tired, and staying home can just feel easier.

But community and connection matter. Having other moms around you who get it matters.

You are welcome here exactly as you are. My hope is that you leave feeling lighter, refreshed, grounded, connected and reminded that you don’t have to do motherhood alone.

Know another mom who could use this too? Invite her to come with you.

And if you’re not local, would you be interested in online Mom Circles? I used to host them and would be happy to bring them back if there’s interest. Let me know below! 💜

As moms, we spend so much time prioritizing everyone else that our own needs can easily become the last thing on the list.

But we need care, too.

Self-care doesn’t have to mean hours away or an elaborate routine. Sometimes it’s making sure we eat, drinking enough water, getting a little more sleep, asking for help, saying no when we’ve reached our limit, or taking 5, 10 or 30 minutes to shower alone, sit outside, enjoy a cup of coffee, move our bodies, journal, read, listen to music, call a friend, connect with our partner or simply be still.

What helps us feel grounded, regulated and connected is going to look different for each of us, but those little things matter.

We can’t constantly give, give, give without eventually crashing. We need to nourish our bodies, rest, care for our mental health and make room for the things that help us feel good.

It won’t make motherhood stress-free. We’re still going to have hard days. But prioritizing our well-being gives us a stronger foundation to be more grounded and present for ourselves AND our families.

You are worth making time for, too, mama. 💜

Parents, this day is for you. 💜

One of the hardest parts of parenthood isn't always the sleepless nights or endless laundry. It's feeling like you're carrying it all on your own.

That's why I'm so excited to be co-hosting Parents Day with Grow Our Village.

We'll kick off the event with a screening of the powerful documentary Holding Mother, which explores postpartum support, perinatal mental health, and the importance of caring for the whole family.

After the film, we'll hear from local professionals during a panel discussion as they share an honest conversation about parenthood, emotional wellness, and building stronger support systems.

We'll close the event with a Parent Circle at Ravenwood Meadery led by Know Mommy - a chance to slow down, connect with one another, and have the kind of conversations so many parents have been needing.

We'll also have:
✨ Giveaways
🥤 Refreshments
🤍 Community resources
🎁 A complimentary mocktail from Ravenwood Meadery for every caregiver who attends

Whether you're expecting a baby, in the newborn stage, parenting toddlers, or raising older children, you are welcome here. Every season of parenthood brings its own joys, challenges, and need for connection.

Because no one is meant to navigate parenthood alone.

📅 Saturday, July 26
🕒 3:00 PM
📍 Huntsville Independent Cinema at Lowe Mill

Registration is required. Donations are appreciated and every contribution helps Grow Our Village continue providing free resources and support for local families.

I'd love to see you there, and I hope you'll leave feeling encouraged, connected, and reminded that you don't have to do this alone. 💜

I’m taking a little summer break. ☀️

If you’ve been around for a while, you know Know Mommy is pretty much a one-woman show.

I’m the one planning Mom Circles, answering messages, coaching clients, creating content, writing articles, organizing events, and handling the behind-the-scenes work. I absolutely love it, but this time of year I also want to soak up summer with my kids before another school year begins.

So for the month of July, I’m pressing pause.

There won’t be any events, I’ll be closing my books to one-on-one clients, and I’ll be stepping back from social media for the most part. You may still see me pop in here and there, but I’m intentionally creating more space for my family this month.

As moms, we know how quickly summer flies by. Before school starts and life gets busy again, I’m choosing to slow down and enjoy this season with my family.

Thank you for supporting Know Mommy, showing up at our events, sharing posts, donating to our mission, and being part of this community. It truly means more than you know.

I hope you have a beautiful July and make lots of memories with the people you love.💜

Love,
Janelle Johngrass
