About Jennifer Cook
hey there, and welcome to mom friend!
I’m Jen, a new-ish mom, Brooklynite, elder millennial, and fashion person here to share my thoughts and opinions on everything from style, design, motherhood, politics, vibes, and all that goes along with it. It’s a little meandering, perhaps at times a little chaotic, and a little bit all over the place - but hey, isn’t that just life?
This started as a way to work through my feelings on motherhood and becoming a mom in an arguably very difficult time - between ridiculous expectations when it comes to child rearing and The Internet hovering over telling you you’re doing it wrong and selling you something to fix it, I was feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and little bit like my brain was atrophying as I stared into the abyss of raising a baby, while feeling like my sense of self was wiped out. I created this as a space to work through those feelings, get my creative side back up and running again, and, hopefully, find some community along the way.
You’ll hear from me twice a week, and will probably get some hot takes on contact naps, a list of the best playground pants, what I’m reading, or a diary of a week in my life just trying to get by.
