Hi, I’m Bettina – writer, mother, photographer, and the chaos coordinator of a beautifully blended family.
Welcome to my corner of the internet, where motherhood meets identity, and messy moments become meaningful stories.
I’m a full-time social worker, a passionate photographer, and a writer on a mission to help women reconnect with themselves beyond the role of “mom.”
I live in Northern Ontario with my forever boyfriend (yep, still swooning), a teenager, a pre-teen, a toddler, and two dogs who believe they run the place.
Life here is rarely quiet—but always full.
This blog isn’t just about motherhood—though we’ll talk plenty about sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, and raising strong, kind humans. It’s also about self-growth, relationships, mental wellness, careers, health, fitness, and rediscovering the woman behind the mom.
If you’re a woman looking for encouragement, connection, or just someone who gets it—you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re juggling kids and a career, trying to reclaim your passions, or simply surviving on caffeine and willpower, I see you.
Here, I share real-life stories, honest reflections, and the lessons I learn along the way. My goal? To build a space where women feel empowered, seen, and celebrated—because we are complex, evolving, and more than just one label.
