October brings pumpkins on porches, skeletons in the yard, and fake cobwebs everywhere. But for new moms, the real scaries don’t come out only on Halloween—they’re there at 3 a.m., when you’re half-asleep and questioning everything.
Here are a few “monsters” we see moms facing every day:
👻 The 3 a.m. Feed Zombie Walk
Stumbling through the dark with a baby who swears night is party time. (Caffeine helps. Solidarity helps more.)
🦇 The Guilt Gremlins
They whisper that you’re not enough, even though you’re giving every ounce of yourself. Spoiler: the gremlins lie.
🕸️ The Lonely Lurker
That feeling of being “the only one” struggling, even though so many moms are in the same boat. Isolation is sneaky like that.
✨ Here’s the trick (and treat): You don’t have to fight these scaries alone. Support—whether that’s from a partner, friend, therapist, or even a simple reminder that you’re not failing—makes the monsters smaller.
At Bloom & Rise, our postpartum and mom+baby boxes were created with this in mind. They’re not just about “stuff.” They’re care packages designed by therapists to bring you resources, comfort, and a little humor to remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think.
So while the rest of the world is stocking up on candy corn, maybe it’s time you gave yourself a treat, too.
Because motherhood is scary enough—you deserve a little magic. 🧡
