Why is PresentMoms posting about baking?? Today is World Baking Day and baking is a part of my postpartum story. While I was on my way to healing after my second was born, I found that baking, something I've done my whole life, was a form of therapy for me. It was an activity that calmed me down, where doing the motions of each recipe that I knew so well quieted the thoughts, the sadness, the anger. It's still my calming source today. These decorated sugar cookies with vanilla buttercream frosting will find their way to as many PresentMoms fundraisers as possible, with each dollar going right back to our self-care packages for newly postpartum women. They are currently only available at approved fundraisers. Contact us to partner up on a fundraiser! www.presentmoms.org #presentmoms #presentmomsorg #presentmomsinc #postpartum #postpartumjourney #careformom #normalizecaringformoms #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #fundraiser #worldbakingday

This past Thursday, I had the opportunity to speak in front of 70 ladies at the @stjohnsbff monthly luncheon. I spoke on Maternal Mental Health Month and how the lasting effects of untreated postpartum disorders can cause issues for the *whole* family, along with how having a community of supportive women is what every mother (every woman) needs. We made connections, grew friendships, and played a Bingo game that had amazing prizes from some amazing vendors (Thank you SO much @withpeaches.co , @jordanmphoto , @stjohnsaestheticsandwellness , and @st.johns_chiro ). All the proceeds from each Bingo card purchase benefitted PresentMoms Inc... These ladies SHOWED OUT, raising $680 that is going straight back to creating care packages for new mamas! I could not be more grateful for this partnership with St. John's BFFs and their continuous support for our mission!

The products will be shipped directly to us and will help out our inventory *tremendously*.

May is Maternal Mental Health Month. 20% of new mothers reported postpartum mental disorders. Less than 15% of those actually seek help. At PresentMoms, we aim to give new mamas the best start possible to that new stage of motherhood by providing self-care essentials so they can reflect on their recovery and adjustment to their lives with a new baby, along with many resources, including FREE THERAPY, if they realize they need extra help. Here’s where we’ll be this month: May 9th - St. John’s BFF Luncheon @ 11am (private event for SJ BFF members) May 19th - Mantra’s Hair Salon’s Cuts for a Cause benefiting PresentMoms Inc 12pm - 2pm 568 Marsh Landing Pkwy Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250 *$15 cuts for the family and raffles! —more details to come With Mother’s Day and Maternal Mental Health month, we hope May is the month we ship out more boxes to new moms than any other month this year—16 were sent out in April!

It has been a whirlwind the last week but I'm finally able to catch my breath... This past Thursday (1/11), I had the privilege of speaking to 80 local business-owning women about PresentMoms Inc, courtesy of the St. John's BFFs. They have invited this organization to partner with them in spreading love and support to postpartum women--and I could not be more grateful. They truly believe in our cause because many of them have went through the same issues us PresentMoms are aiming to eradicate. So much so, that we have received enough donations of lip balms, bath bombs, nail polish strips (new box addition!), and hand cream to help fulfill our 2024 goal of 120 boxes. This is such a blessing! I can't thank the St. John's BFFs enough for giving PresentMoms this opportunity to spread the word, and I look forward to a long, fruitful, and beneficial philanthropic partnership! #presentmoms #presentmomsinc #postpartum #postpartumjourney #motherhood #motherhoodjourney #careformom #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #donate #makeadifference #maternalmentalhealth #maternalhealth #normalizecaringformoms #momsmatter

As we close out the first full year PresentMoms has been reaching out to postpartum women, we sit with much anticipation of what’s to come in 2024. Speaking engagements, partnerships, and fundraisers are all on the near horizon, which all equals one thing: more help to more moms, and we could not be more excited! We pray this coming year brings each and everyone of you joy, hope, and community, and here’s to big things for PresentMoms in 2024! HAPPY NEW YEAR! #presentmoms #presentmomsinc #presentmomsorg #postpartumjourney #motherhoodjourney #nonprofit #normalizecaringformoms #maternalhealth

In case your feed hasn’t screamed it at you yet, today is Giving Tuesday. A day to give to your favorite charities and organizations so they can continue their work throughout the year. While you’re listing causes closest to your heart, please consider a donation to @presentmomsorg so we can give more new mothers the gift of hope, companionship, and reminders to stay present in that crucial milestone of postpartumhood. Each donation goes towards products for each box (see: What’s in the Box on PresentMoms.org) and their storage, shipping, along with all the administration work and fees a nonprofit incurs to exist. One PresentMoms box currently costs $30 to make and ship, and every person behind the scenes is a volunteer, so literally every cent goes directly to help new moms. We have a donation goal of $1000 we hope to hit by Tuesday, 12/5. So if you feel led to give on this Giving Tuesday or anytime in the next week, please head to our website to the “Donate” page and give what you can. Every penny counts, just like every mama counts. https://presentmoms.org/donate #presentmoms #presentmomsinc #presentmomsorg #postpartum #postpartumjourney #givingtuesday #seasonofgiving #donate #normalizecaringformoms #postpartumhealth #maternalmentalhealth

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY Something we strive for here at PresentMoms is to bring awareness to mental health, particularly Maternal Mental Health. The moment a woman gets pregnant, her mentality, who she fundamentally is, changes. Some thrive while pregnant, some don’t. Some immediately feel like a mother upon birth, some don’t. Some become so akin to their surroundings and responsibilities while others lose themselves completely, feel alone and helpless, or even that their family would be better off without them. Every healthy family starts with a mentally aware and healthy mother. And this World Mental Health day, we want to acknowledge those who haven’t gotten their footing quite yet as mamas and let them know that there are people out there who want to see them thrive in their new role. PresentMoms offers free self-care essentials boxes to new moms to remind them that they deserve some caring for too, and to remain physically healthy and mentally present in their motherhood transition. Visit our site to donate to our cause or use our referral system to send a new mom a self-care box. #presentmoms #presentmomsinc #presentmomsorg #maternalmentalhealth #mentalhealth #worldmentalhealthday #newmoms #postpartum #postpartumjourney #normalizecaringformoms #motherhood

First Favorite Things Friday! Each Friday, our founder and board members, along with recipients of a PresentMoms box, will submit their favorite postpartum items that can’t be found in our self-care essentials boxes.

Take a look at our first picks in our stories! #presentmoms #presentmomsinc #presentmomsorg #postpartum #postpartumlife #postpartumjourney #selfcare #motherhood #motherhoodjourney #normalizecaringformoms

Even moms of older children (it's me, hi) need breaks! Having children at home during the summer can make getting things done difficult. But I never dropped the ball on sending these PresentMoms boxes! One of the guarantees I wanted to ensure with PresentMoms was that little effort is made for the mamas to get what they need to recover from giving birth. So we ship all across the US to *every* new mom who requests a self-care box. Right to their doorstep. Just $40 gifts a newly postpartum mom with all kinds of essentials to remind them to care for themselves in the midst of the exhaustive state that is newborn life. Donate at our site.

#nofilter Because after birthing everyone wants to know how the baby is doing but 99.9percent the new mother is forgotten and it becomes her normal reality to not be checked on. Lets normalize genuinely asking the mother how she is doing. Am so thankful for the bunch of people who have genuinely checked on me. Me as a person as a new mom and reminded me where I am supposed to be. Relaxing, rejuvenating and cuddling with my newborn 👶🏽. Its a real balsam for the soul❤️💐 #postpartum #normalizecaringformoms #shegivesherallgiveherbacktoo #afterbirthcareformom @marthafynest Thank you for revamping me 🤗 💄

To all the mamas and mother-like figures out there: 💙 You are so loved 💙 You are so strong 💙 You are so cared for 💙 You are doing such a good job 💙You are more appreciated than you will ever know Happy Mother’s Day from PresentMoms 💙 #presentmoms #presentmomsinc #motherhood #motherhoodjourney #mothersday #happymothersday #mom #mama #mother #grandmother #aunt #godmother #normalizecaringformoms

MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH MONTH As I was browsing for a picture for this post, I came across a pretty upsetting realization: there aren't many pictures of me with my kids. After questioning why this is the case, I figured out it was because I didn't want to be in any pictures. Whether it was because of how I looked or how I felt, I just didn't want any physical reminders of my state-of-being during that particular time. This particular picture was posed for an article I wrote. All it does is remind me how that afternoon was filled with anger and tears for one reason or another. It took a full breakdown shortly after this captured moment for me to realize how much I needed help. I was lucky that I could tell something was wrong. Other moms feel there is no escape and take more permanent measures. May is dedicated to Maternal Mental Health. I'm so thankful that awareness on this topic is becoming more common with each year. There are more programs available to help mothers now than when I had my last child almost 5 years ago, let alone my first. Programs like PresentMoms. We want to help mothers directly out of their hospital stay to make sure they start off this new phase of their life with the most love and best support possible. Giving self-care essentials to these new moms is the least we can do, with goals and plans to expand as the nonprofit does. If you feel led to help to our cause to provide new or new again mothers with a self-care box dedicated just for them, please consider donating to PresentMoms. Just $30 a month provides one mom with items such as facial wipes, pads and lip balm, as well as resources to help them focus on their mental health. A healthy family starts with a healthy mom.

OUR FOUNDER PresentMoms Inc was found by Sarah Lynch in July 2022. She believes that to have a healthy, thriving family, you need a healthy, thriving mother. So she created this nonprofit with the intention of giving every new mom that healthy start needed to have mentally present and physically healthy moms. Aware of just how neglected new mothers can be and can feel, and how she wanted to help as many moms as possible, PresentMoms was born. Sarah, through PresentMoms, aims to normalize caring for mothers too. Sarah lives with her husband of nearly a decade and her two kids (8 and 4) in Jacksonville, FL, where PresentMoms Inc is based. #presentmomsinc #presentmoms #motherhood #motherhoodjourney #normalizecaringformoms #selfcare #nonprofit #neflnonprofits #jacksonville #pregnancy #childbirth #postpartum #postpartumjourney #moms #momlife
