Hi, I’m Laura

Welcome to “What a Mom Needs”! I’m so glad you’re here!

I live in the Netherlands with my husband and a beautiful daughter named Lily who is 1 year old.

Being pregnant was a special but intense experience for me, with all the hormones I developed quite a bit of anxiety.

I wanted to do everything right and was especially afraid of doing something wrong, which continued into Lily’s first year.

I spent endless hours online reading a lot of scary stuff, and it didn’t help at all!!

However, the helpful stories on other blogs with honest tales from other new moms did help and made me feel much better!

I’m a stay-at-home mom, and at some point, I felt the urge to start something new. The idea of starting my own blog began to itch.

So, I started, and it felt so good! It gives me so much motivation to write about relatable situations of motherhood and share my own experiences too!

I hope to bring other moms joy and positivity on the internet, where there is also a lot of negativity!

Some fun (crazy) facts about me:

• I ALWAYS win a stuffed animal with the claw machine.
• I am an introvert and love my own company.
• I love pizzas with just tomato sauce.
• I drink ALL my tea with milk.
• I’m a big fan of true crime docs and then follow Reddit to speculate like a detective.

Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!
