Once that sweet little baby enters your world, everything shifts. Your Friday nights that were once about Netflix or going out look a lot more like cuddles, diapers, and early bedtimes. The clothes you used to rock? They’ve likely been traded for something a bit more... mom-friendly (hello, leggings).
But you know what hasn’t changed for me? My love for food. 🍲
I’ve always had this passion for nourishing my body and finding joy in the kitchen. And now, as a mom, that love has only deepened. I realize more than ever how important it is to fuel my body with nutritious, wholesome foods. After all, I need the energy to keep up with my little guy!
What’s even more special is that I get to share this love for food with him. Cooking together has become one of our favorite activities. Sure, it’s messy, and sometimes things don’t go as planned (I’ve learned that toddlers and flour don’t always mix well). But it’s fun, it’s bonding, and we both enjoy it.
We love trying new recipes, from simple breakfasts to creative snacks, and I can’t tell you how rewarding it is to watch him get excited about food. There’s something magical about teaching your child the importance of nourishing their body—watching them explore new flavors and textures while building memories together in the kitchen.
So, while motherhood has changed nearly everything about my life, my love for food has stayed constant. And now, I get to experience that joy in a new way—through the eyes of my little one. Whether we’re making a homemade smoothie or baking our favorite protein snacks, these moments are some of my favorites.
Motherhood changes you, but it also adds so many beautiful layers. And for me, one of those layers is sharing my love for good food with the little person I love most.
