An Ode to Motherhood
Wishing you a gentle Mother’s Day, in every form it finds you — whether you’re celebrating, remembering, longing, or becoming. Today and every day, we honour the many ways a mother’s love moves through the world.
In the spirit of honouring every version of motherhood, we reached out to our community with a few gentle questions.
Questions with @merringrace
Q: What’s the soundtrack to your mornings lately?
Lately, my mornings start with Olivia Dean. Her music has this calm, soulful vibe that just fits. It sets the tone for the day in the loveliest way.
Q: What does “softness” look like for you right now?
Right now, Softness, for me, looks like giving myself grace. Running a business while raising two little ones isn’t always easy. I’m learning to give myself grace, to stop striving for perfection, and to remember that I’m trying my best. There’s so much beauty in the little, messy moments along the way.
Q: What’s a little ritual or moment you secretly look forward to each day?
Every evening, once the kids are in bed, I run a bath and soak for as long as I can get away with. It’s my daily pause.
Questions with @jessicaamandafryer
Q: What’s something about motherhood you never expected to love as much as you do?
I never expected it to bring out my inner child again this much, seeing the world all over again through my son’s big, beautiful curious eyes is so special, the singing, the dancing, playing- it’s pure magic.
Q: What’s a little ritual or moment you secretly look forward to each day?
I journal every morning and then step outside in mama nature with a coffee in hand (always). We’re so lucky to live behind a beautiful park- it’s my favourite place to reflect and reset. Small, quiet moments that fill my cup in the best way!
Q: What’s a piece of advice from your mum (or a mother figure) that actually stuck?
One thing my mum taught me that’s really stayed with me is to always trust your gut. She’s incredibly intuitive, and while I didn’t fully understand or appreciate it growing up, I feel it so deeply now that I’m a mother myself. That quiet inner knowing has become such a guide for me, to really trust in myself and it’s helped me make choices I can stand by with confidence, even when they don’t make sense to anyone else.
Questions with @eilishbyrne
Q: What’s the soundtrack to your mornings lately?
I’m usually awoken by the sound of my two boys giggling & playing in our lounge room - swiftly followed by an argument or ten & the ensuing onslaught of chats, “I’m still hungryyyyy”s, “brush your teeth!”, “pack your bag!”, “leave your brother alone!”, “leave your sister alone!”, & the imaginary battles, adventures & scenarios with all three of them as we get ready for the day.
Q: What does “softness” look like for you right now?
Feeling safe to feel everything so deeply & holding space for my children to do the same.
Q: What’s something about motherhood you never expected to love as much as you do?
I was brushing my teeth the other morning & I turned as I heard my two boys come in holding up a big drawing. They said they had done it together. I had such a wave of love wash over me. In that moment. Even amongst all the fighting & disagreements, when I see them working together to create something to be proud of fills me with such pride, love & happiness.
Questions with @maybejess1
Q: What’s the soundtrack to your mornings lately?
“The Deepest Sighs, the Frankest Shadows” Epic and grounding — for when I’m simultaneously overwhelmed and completely in awe of my life and how lucky I am.
Q: What does “softness” look like for you right now?
What does softness look like to me - It’s learning to surrender — to mess, to noise, to not having it all together — and choosing gentleness anyway.
It’s saying no to pressure and yes to presence. It’s laughing instead of snapping when the chaos spills over. It’s letting myself cry when I need to. Softness is not about quiet, it’s about care — for them, and now finally, for me too.
Q: What’s something about motherhood you never expected to love as much as you do?
One thing I never expected to love about motherhood is how much I enjoy being the safe place. The way they run to me with scraped knees or sleepy eyes, the way my presence alone can soothe them — I didn’t know how powerful that would feel. It’s chaotic and exhausting, but there’s something magic in knowing you are home for someone else.
Questions with @emmapeterson____
Q: What’s a piece of advice from your mum (or a mother figure) that actually stuck?
I remember when I was a teenager being really upset about something my friends had done. I was talking to my mum about it and she told me that I’m not always responsible for the way people choose to act or the way they treat me, but I am responsible for the way I choose to respond. I think about that a lot in my day to day life and I think it’s really quite good advice!
Q: The last moment that made you stop and think: “This is the good stuff”
Any time I’m sitting out on our porch, whether I’m watching the sun come up, soaking up the warmth with my morning coffee, reading a book while my kids ride their bikes in the afternoon, or watching the stars pop up each night. It’s so simple but so sweet.
Questions with @blessingsabundant
Q: What’s a little ritual or moment you secretly look forward to each day?
That time of night when everyone else has gone to bed, and the house is quiet for the first time all day. I make a cuppa and sit in silence- sometimes scrolling, sometimes just thinking, for just a few minutes, and breathe.
Q: What’s something about motherhood you never expected to love as much as you do?
I loved it so much when my babies were all little and at home, especially as homeschoolers, we were always all together, and I could never have imagined being happier than that- but now they’re all adults and teenagers , I love watching them choose each other. To be friends and do things together. To seek each other out
I never expected to find so much joy in their friendship with each other.
