Side B: Motherhood

A return to real: parenting with presence, ’90s vibes, grit, and grace.

Welcome to Side B: Motherhood, a blog for moms who remember life before every moment was posted and parenting was measured in likes. Here, we celebrate real motherhood — messy, magical, and wonderfully imperfect.

Inspired by the ’90s — when moms had their own hobbies, kids played outside until dinner, babysitters lived down the block, and parenting wasn’t filtered through curated feeds — this is a space to rediscover calm, joy, and presence in everyday life.

So reheat your coffee, cue up that ’90s playlist, and join me as we slow down, savor the small moments, and remember what it really means to parent with love, grit, and a little nostalgia.
