Hi, it's me Karleen

Motherhood is beautiful, but let’s be honest—it’s not always easy. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re the only mom struggling to “get it right,” you’re not alone. That’s why I created Mom Life Harbor—a safe space where you can find guidance, encouragement, and practical solutions for every stage of motherhood.

Here, we embrace both sides of the journey: the joyful milestones that make your heart swell and the messy, unfiltered moments that test your patience.

Why I Started Mom Life Harbor

When I first became a mom, I quickly realized parenting wasn’t the picture-perfect version I’d seen on Instagram. Between pregnancy symptoms, postpartum recovery, sleepless nights, and the daily juggle of work and family, I often felt lost.

Because let’s be real—family life isn’t just about the messy parts like dirty diapers, sleepless nights, or endless laundry. It’s about the magic in between: the hugs, the laughter, and the milestones that make it all worthwhile.

That’s why I started Mom Life Harbor—a community-driven blog built on authenticity, support, and shared experiences.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog is more than just stories—it’s a toolbox for moms, filled with practical advice and encouragement. You’ll find:

  • Pregnancy & Postpartum Guidance – Navigate morning sickness, recovery, and early motherhood with confidence.

  • Parenting Tips That Work – From newborn sleep struggles to toddler tantrums, real solutions from one mom to another.

  • Family-Friendly Recipes – Quick, healthy meals your family will actually enjoy.

  • Affordable Mom Fashion – Simple style tips that help you feel good without overspending.

  • Honest Product Reviews – Gear and tools that truly make mom life easier.

Our Shared Pain Points

I know what it feels like to:

  • Run on zero sleep while still expected to “hold it all together.”

  • Struggle with body changes and confidence during postpartum recovery.

  • Juggle work, household duties, and motherhood—and feel like you’re falling short at all of them.

  • Worry about money, time, and whether you’re doing enough for your kids.

  • Crave community and encouragement when mom life feels isolating.

Mom Life Harbor exists to address these struggles head-on and remind you that you’re not walking this path alone.
