When I became a mom, I thought I’d feel nothing but joy. Instead, I found myself overwhelmed, exhausted, and—if I’m being honest—lost. Postpartum depression and anxiety hit hard. I wasn’t just adjusting to sleepless nights and endless diaper changes; I was struggling to recognize the person in the mirror.

Some days, even getting dressed felt impossible. I’d stare at my closet, unable to make a decision, let alone find something that made me feel good. My body felt foreign, my confidence was shattered, and I was carrying so much guilt for not being the "perfect" mom.

That’s when I realized something had to change. I couldn’t pour into my kids from an empty cup. I started carving out tiny moments of self-care—10 minutes here, a deep breath there, positive affirmations every morning—and noticed how much lighter I felt when I made myself a priority, even if just for a moment.

That’s when MayLily Apparel was born.

I created MayLily for moms like me—moms who are doing their best but feel like it's never enough. I wanted to offer more than just clothes. I wanted to create reminders:

• A hoodie that whispers, “You’ve got this.”
• A sweatshirt that cheers, “Be real, not perfect.”
• A beanie that affirms, “You are enough.”

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Together, we’ll embrace the wild, wonderful ride of motherhood and celebrate the amazing women we’re becoming. You’ve got this, Mama!
