If you’re like me you may dream of the day you’re able to start a family. Wondering what your future kids will look like, act like, and planning the lifestyle you want to provide for them. Though mom life is still some years off for me I do find myself excited by the idea of my future family.
I often think about the type of person I want my child to be. From character, to mindset, to financial literacy. It’s important to me that I have the type of lifestyle where I’m able to spend ample time with my children. I believe in order to have the most positive impact in a child’s life, well for myself at least, I need to be around them as much as possible.
But I also think about the type of mother I want to be. Though I don’t imagine I’ll be perfect I do believe I’ll be a great mom. To me that looks like maintaining my womanhood in addition to my new found motherhood, continuing to have a life outside of my family, and accomplishing my goals independent of family life. I know motherhood will be glorious, but as of now I want to do so much with my life as well as be a mom.. while not foregoing time spent with my kids if that’s even possible.
Here’s a mood board for other wanna be mommies that spend their days visualizing your dream life as mom.
Pregnancy
I’m excited to one day be pregnant, but also a little nervous about the major change to my body lol. I do wonder how my body will bounce back after children. However, I’m willing to one day give up this hotbod for a mommy bod.
I envision pregnancy to be extremely restful. I see myself being spoon fed by my husband while he patiently listening to all my trivial complaints. This seems like a time to enjoy bonding with our babies, and that’s what I intend to do.

Newborn
My husband and I will be so excited to welcome our new baby into the world. We’ll spend our days ogling over every move our newborn makes. Lost in the dreamyness of becoming parents.
Lol or at least I’d like to believe. Meanwhile we’ll actually be arguing daily because we’re cranky and exhausted. Thankfully we’ll have an amazing support system that help us adjust to being new parents.
Mom Life
Future milf here, hello hi *waves*. I’m very much going to be giving gorgeous mommy tease… at least in public anyway. It’s my goal to be a feminine role model for my daughter, and my son’s first love. I think being beautiful has more to do with maintenance than anything.
Kids should learn from a early age the importance of presentation in the world. Not only in regards to looks, but how I present myself as a person.

Family Goals
The nuclear family is so important. Both a father and mother should be in a household to raise a family. I want my child to grow up in a healthy two parent household. I’m not sure why or how we became so far removed from this, but we need to go back to it.
In the event me and the father of my child(ren) do not work out I know he’ll never stop being a father. That’s the only type of men I’m even interested in. I really want black women to make better decisions, especially when it comes to me. ONLY DATE THAT WANT TO BE HUSBANDS AND HAVE A FAMILY. I really cannot stress that enough.
Kid Style
Children are the most open minded of us all. During childhood is the time to expose them to worldly experiences and new cultures. I want them to grow up regularly experiencing other cultures, and respecting differences.
I hope to encourage my kids to embrace themselves, and others. I want to focus on self-esteem, and self-love early so that they grow up feeling confident.
