My name is Dawn Lim, and I am the grateful mom– and oftentimes tired– mom to Evan, born in September 2024. He has brought so much joy into my life, especially after a truly wild year.
In 2024, life hit hard and fast: We finally got pregnant in January, bought a home and moved into our new home in June, moved my mom late June, then lost my mom in August, and welcomed our son early September. With this timeline, I had zero capacity to research and prepare myself for motherhood. I felt overwhelmed by the grief and move alone and couldn’t bring myself to look into baby stuff.
The transition was incredibly difficult, complicated by grief and lack of preparation. But thanks to the support of so many incredible women, my husband and I survived! This website is a tribute to that community. My mom friends gifted, recommended, and shared products and wisdom that truly saved me—and now I want to pass that knowledge on to you.
Even with this website, I expect that a new mom will undoubtedly spend many a nights researching on reddit and ordering items for overnight delivery on Amazon like I did.
My goals and hopes for this space are simple: to help ease the transition for moms-to-be and postpartum moms. Specifically, I want you to:
1) Know you are not alone in the exhaustion
2) Find products I found personally used and found genuinely helpful
I want to share everything I know to help ease the transition for moms even in the slightest. I have been sharing the same links to several new moms so I figured I could compile a list with direct links to products I’ve personally used and found helpful.
I’ve also set up an Amazon Associate account so that I will earn on qualifying purchases.
Hey, New Mom!
