Brunchettes: Finding Joy in Motherhood

Brunchettes is a place where women can feel comfortable being their real selves and talking about the things that aren’t picture perfect in their lives.

Michelle (The Mumsy Blog) and I held our first Brunchettes event in Utah in December 2016, and we were so happy with the incredible women who showed up and openly shared their motherhood struggles.

We were all uplifted by Allyson Reynolds, a motherhood advocate and columnist who helped us remember motherhood isn’t meant to be (or look) perfect. She taught us how to shift our perspectives to what’s most important and to find joy in motherhood instead of beating ourselves up with mom-guilt.

At each of our events, the speaker gets to choose a charity to donate our ticket proceeds to. Allyson chose Operation Underground Railroad. We’re glad we got to be a small part of helping free children from the ugly world of sex trafficking.
