Welcome to Jade + Sun
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a full-time work-at-home mama who had the idea to start this blog last year while in the thick of navigating the early days of returning to work after maternity leave.
I was in a constant state of stress while trying to maintain peace, harmony, and balance in my home. My saving grace was researching all things Montessori and gentle, attachment-style parenting. I was drawn to the simplicity of Montessori-inspired spaces and aspired to maintain a sense of calm as my daughter grew older and began experiencing bigger emotions.
I struggled to find everything I was looking for in one place.
This blog is here to inspire mamas to become the best versions of themselves, even when short on time. Follow along as I share tips I’ve learned along the way that have helped support both my daughter’s and my own nervous system through responsive parenting and creating an intentional, well-thought-out home.
We’ll be sharing Montessori-inspired toddler activities, sustainable and low-tox living, easy recipes, gentle routines, and everyday inspiration intended to save you time (and money—I love a good bargain find) to ease the transition into early motherhood.
Who I Hope to Reach
My goal is to build a community of like-minded moms who enjoy slow, wholesome days at home.
If you aspire to incorporate gentle parenting principles, Montessori-inspired learning, and attachment-style parenting into your everyday routines, then this blog is for you.
My Why
Prior to becoming a mom, I wasn’t sure what kind of mother I would be. I knew I either wanted to stay home with my daughter or continue climbing the corporate ladder to provide for my family.
When my sweet baby girl arrived, it quickly became clear that I felt deeply attached to her from the beginning and didn’t want to be away from her.
While I feel incredibly blessed and thankful to be able to keep her home with me (with the help of our wonderful nanny—which I may share more about later), this season has also come with a lot of stress as I shift between “mom mode” and “corporate mom mode” throughout the day.
In the first year on weekends I would sit in the nursery while my daughter napped, researching ways to make life feel more manageable for our family. This ranged from easy one-pot dinner recipes to high-quality wooden toy ideas that would support her development while keeping our home calm and beautiful.
That was the beginning of Jade + Sun Motherhood. I wanted to create a space where moms could find slow, intentional motherhood inspiration in one place.
Why Jade + Sun
Jade is my daughter, my why.
Sun represents her love for being outside and how she has brightened my life in more ways than I ever expected.
