15 years, a global pandemic, 2,000 miles, and multiple children later, Kat and Maggie found each other in a mother-child class in NJ. Sitting in preschool chairs around a small outdoor table, wearing masks and sewing while their children played happily, they glanced at each other from across the table. Maggie said to Kat “Hey, did you go to Boulder?” They both pulled down their masks and recognized each other immediately.  

 

Kat was newly pregnant with her third child and had just recently moved. Maggie had just given birth to her second baby and her postpartum journey was very challenging. Neither had found the type of community they were looking for. They quickly became a support for each other, there for post-partum tenderness, growing families, a heartbreaking miscarriage, and a new pregnancy. 

 

This friendship inspired Revive Motherhood. Kat and Maggie revived their friendship and in turn, their motherhood journeys. Revive Motherhood is everything we love about our friendship: collective knowledge, understanding, joy, nurturing, laughter, and support. Mother to mother. Friend to friend.
