Exploring My Story: About Me
My name is Rosanna, and I’m a mother to a spirited 4-year-old boy and a former NICU nurse from the Philippines.
After getting married in 2017 and moving to the USA in 2018, I transitioned from a career in healthcare to a full-time stay-at-home mom.
This new role sparked a journey of self-discovery and growth, teaching me valuable lessons about motherhood and life.
As I embraced the challenges and joys of motherhood, I discovered a passion for sharing my experiences with others.
Turning to social media, I found a platform to connect with fellow moms, quickly amassing a loyal following on Facebook.
Encouraged by the positive feedback, I decided to channel my energy into inspiring and supporting other mothers while pursuing my dreams.
Despite the demands of managing a household and caring for my child, I flourished as a multifaceted content creator, influencer, and affiliate marketer.
Leveraging my expertise, I launched this website and online store, offering digital products and sharing insightful blogs on topics ranging from motherhood to lifestyle.
But my journey doesn’t end there. With a keen eye for creativity, I uncovered a hidden talent for digital art.
Transforming ordinary photos into captivating illustrations, I embarked on commissioned projects, captivating my audience with my artistic vision.
I also create sketch artworks accompanied by poignant words, sharing them with my growing social media community.
At the heart of it all, my ultimate mission remains steadfast: to empower mothers to pursue their dreams and aspirations, even amidst life’s challenges.
With determination and hard work, motherhood can indeed be a catalyst for growth, creativity, and success.
Sketches and Sentiments
Dive into my creations as I share the stories and emotions behind each piece, offering a glimpse into my creative process and personal reflections.
1. Mother and Child
According to Western Missouri Medical Center – Producing breast milk consumes 25% of the body’s energy; the brain only uses 20% by comparison.
You’re not just sitting around doing nothing.
The truth is, you’re working tirelessly behind the scenes, pouring your energy into nourishing and caring for your little one.
That’s why you’re exhausted by the end of the day.
Don’t let your mind play tricks on you, making you feel like you didn’t accomplish anything.
Feeding your baby is a monumental task that deserves recognition.
You’re not just surviving, you’re thriving.
You’re a rockstar, and don’t let anyone – including yourself – tell you otherwise.
You did enough, and you did it with love and dedication.
Be kind to yourself and acknowledge your superhuman efforts.

2. To My Child
To my child…
It’s okay to be vulnerable.
It’s okay to express your emotions.
To cry.
And to feel.
It’s okay to embrace your individuality.
To love what makes you happy.
And to be yourself, unapologetically.
It’s okay to take a step back.
And say no.
To set boundaries.
And prioritize your own needs.
It’s okay to not have all the answers.
And to ask for help.
And it’s okay to show your soft side.
To be gentle, and to be human.
I love and accept you, just as you are.
