Learn about all things hot~ whether you are pregnant, just gave birth, or are a seasoned pro mom. My goal of this blog is for you to learn that in order to take care of your baby you NEED to prioritize yourself. From beauty items to fashion & outfit ideas to the best skin care products, let’s spill all the tea and learn how to fill up our desires and needs as a woman.

So you’re pregnant and have no idea what you are getting yourself into? Or wait let me guess, you are one month postpartum and can’t stop crying? And sleep, who’s she? Wait SHI*T you guts have time to shower ???
Girl, I’ve been there. Don’t get me wrong, finding out you’re pregnant is a beautiful, one of a kind experience. But for many woman, it is a very scary, isolating time. And then 9 months later you’re expected to birth this baby and become mommy.
Sound easy? Yeah it’s not. Overwhelming is an understatement. And that is why Daily Hot Mom has your back. From all things preggo to all things mommy, I’m here. My goal of DHM is to show how you can still incorporate all things hot (beauty, food, workouts, etc.) into your daily life, while still being a mom. Also, I want to bring the awareness to the reality of pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood.
This post is all about my goal with Daily Hot Mom and how it is possible to be an amazing mom while being amazing to yourself.

wait, we are WHAT?
I am going to bring you back to the year 2021. My boyfriend and I found out we were pregnant. My boyfriend (now husband Mark) was over the moon excited, and there I am sitting on the toilet, holding a positive pregnancy test with PURE fear written all over my face. Mark grabs me and hugs me and goes BABE WE ARE PARENTS. Instantly I of course
start bawling. I start doing the math and try to figure out exactly when this would have happened. Okay, okay I wasn’t on birth control and we were necessarily NOT trying to have a baby, but I still didn’t think it would ACTUALLY happen. After my 20 minutes of racing emotions, I told Mark we need to go and tell my mom. Yes, yes Mark was over the moon excited but it wasn’t doing it for me. I needed my mom.
25 and pregnant
Fast forward to about a month later, and it finally set in. And honestly the rest of my pregnancy was all pretty smooth. A few mental breakdowns here and there, but I can’t complain. Looking back, I felt extremely guilty for how horrible I felt when I found out I was pregnant. I look at my baby now and think omg how could I live my life without you??? How could I have been so ungrateful???!! But ladies, it’s normal. I haven’t looked up the statistics, but I am pretty sure
more pregnancies than not are not planned. Okay yes, Mark and I had been together for over 2 years when we had found out, and no I wasn’t 16 and pregnant- but I felt incredibly unprepared. Already my toxic type A personality traits were kicking in. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but I wanted to be in control of when that happened.
the fourth trimester (aka the shit storm)
So speaking of my toxic type A personality, let’s talk about postpartum (also known as the fourth trimester) and raising a baby! YES I am free!!! I am no longer pregnant!!!! Bring on the carbs (I was a gestational diabetic), mental stability, killer workouts, no work for 3 months, FINALLY being able to sleep comfortably and of course the booze!!! I hate to admit it but- this is literally what I thought postpartum would be like. I thought, okay back to my old life. Like yeah, I am a mom now but it can’t be THAT bad. I am not sure where I got that false interpretation (just a thought- maybe how instagram likes to glorify the shit out of motherhood?). So if you are at the end of your pregnancy and reading this post- I am sorry to kill your vibe but postpartum is not all butterflies and margaritas.
MILF gang
Okay. Now for the part where Daily Hot Mom plays a HUGE role in not only my life but your life. I had an upbringing that consisted of being sheltered. I was an only child living in the state of North Dakota. Being an only child means you are your parents’ trial and error. And living in North Dakota means there is nothing to do besides drink and go to Walmart (or maybe even Target if you’re lucky enough to have one). My parents wanted to hold your hand through every stage of life (side note: I had amazing parents and am so grateful for the love they have for me- however I needed my own space to figure my life out). You have no older siblings to confide in.
I felt pretty out of the loop when I was pregnant and figuring out motherhood and honestly still sometimes do. And that is exactly why I am here. I am here for all you first time pregnant girls. I am here for all you first time moms trying to figure out how to take care of your baby, while still trying to take care of yourself. From figuring out the best mascara, to what workout you should do this morning, to what the hell am I going to feed myself today. I am here. I am here for the emotional roller-coaster pregnancy/postpartum/motherhood all brings.
Like I said, I am also a first time mom so please understand I am still figuring out how to take care of myself while playing mommy. But honestly, I will never have it all figured out, and I don’t want to (something my type A personality has had an extremely tough time coming to terms with).
Cheers to all of us on this journey and know that we are all going through it. But that doesn’t mean we still can’t be hot, right?
