Welcome to Jade + Sun
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a full-time work-from-home mama who had the idea to start this blog last year while I was 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 systems 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).
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 daycare would not be the right fit for our family. No judgment to anyone who uses daycare—I know it’s the only option for many families—but for me, I felt deeply attached to my daughter 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 mothers could find these ideas all 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.
