Dear Mama —

Take a breath with me for a moment.

Life is full, isn’t it? Some days feel like a blur of lunchboxes and laundry, deadlines and dinner plans. Others feel slower; a quiet hand-hold, a tired smile, a minute to just sit. Motherhood lives in all of it; the busy and the still, the beautiful and the hard.

As a mum to three beautiful boys, I’ve come to know both the deep joy and the quiet exhaustion that motherhood brings. I feel it every day, in the drop-offs and the cuddles, the mess, the magic and the moments that remind me what this life is really about — and through it all, I’ve also learned how easy it is to forget ourselves in the process. To keep giving without ever stopping to refill. But you matter too. You always have.

I just wanted to write you a little something — whether you are a mum, love a mum, miss a mum, or long to be one — you are held in our hearts, seen and heard.

At Ame, we see the kind of love and effort women pour into the world around them every single day. And sometimes, we just need a little nudge to pour a little of that love back into ourselves.
So this is it — your gentle nudge. Take the moments for YOU. It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be for you.

I’m so endlessly grateful for the women and mother’s who shape Ame; in all your own unique quiet, or loud, beautiful unique way.

With love always,
Claire x
(mama, founder of Ame, and forever cheering you on)
