Totally MOM-Sense turns one. Yayy!

I can't believe time flew by so fast. Totally MOM-Sense finally turned one this year on January 12th. I remember myself a year back around this time when I was on my maternity leave with my life completely wrapped around a brand new baby at home. I had no clue what was going on. Seriously!! I am so thankful to my parents who flew all the way from India to be here with me to help me out with the baby. I don't know how Mayank and I would have managed without them.

During that time I was extremely hormonal, sensitive, and felt like my life had completely changed. I had a lot going on, I was different, my life was different, I looked different and most importantly I suddenly had something in my arms that was so precious and so dependent on me for everything. It made me feel so scared that I was responsible for a little human being then.

But that’s not why I started blogging. The dream to blog was from a long time before I got pregnant. In my free time, I would always find myself scouting through beautiful websites, reading inspirational stories of some of my favorite bloggers, and feeling completely mesmerized by them. I loved looking at their beautiful pictures and seeing them live their passion for fashion, life, travel, fitness, etc. All this used to make me feel so inspired to live better and enjoy life to the fullest and I secretly wished to have a blog of my own. But as usual, I kept procrastinating it. The main reason for that was, that I had no idea what to blog about or in blogging words ‘What would be my niche?'

I feel extremely passionate about my life, fashion, fitness, exploring new places, beauty, etc.. but all that could not be my niche. I wanted to feel my inspiration on one thing that will have me up in the middle of the night blogging. Something that I was too excited to talk about. Something that would make me jump up and down on my bed with excitement.

The answer to this came in the form of my daughter ‘Mishika’ in October 2017. After I had her, I went through many strong emotions, some hormonal, some baby blues, and the toughest was leaving my daughter and going back to work. The only way I felt better was writing about it. It was so natural. I did not have to think once on what to write, the ideas just came flowing in.

I knew then that I wanted to blog about my motherhood journey and along with that share my passion for fashion, beauty, travel, fitness, etc. basically blog about things I love while raising a little girl in a cold and snowy place. One of the first things I started with was an Instagram blog followed by creating my website (which came a few months later) and then set myself up on all the social channels. It’s been one year now, and I am still learning how to blog better and create awesome content for all my fellow readers.
One thing about blogging is that it never stops to surprise me. Every time I look I learn something new. I am so happy that I gathered my courage and created Totally MOM-Sense a year back. Just like any newbie I was extremely shy to share what I felt with all my friends and family. But with time, I have gained confidence and started feeling comfortable with it.

Every time I create content for Totally MOM-Sense, I can feel the adrenaline rush through my body and feel so pumped with excitement.
To all my fellow readers thank you for all your love and encouragement. This past year I have been getting so much support from you guys that it motivates me to learn more and create more amazing content!
