Being Okay With Being a Messy Mom with Amie Jay
Mom to 3 Messketeers, Amie Jay is often labeled a “mommy blogger,” but that has never felt right to her. Because as much as she loves being a mom, she doesn’t want to be defined by it.
Amie wants to connect with people. Talk about “people’ things, outside of Saturday morning activities you can do with your kids while laying down. She wants to engage with beautiful hearts, whether they have children or not.
And she wants to start acknowledging how similar we all are, instead of picking ourselves and each other apart because of our differences.
She is a writer.
She is a weirdo.
She is a mom.
And her soul vibes are powerful.
