HELLO! & Welcome to my steemit, my name is Melyssa. I discovered steemit about 1 year ago, and have shadowed my boyfriend on here this entire time and have learnt a few things and seen how it has impacted his life, and he has 113% inspired me to pursue a new journey in my life as well. I am a 27 year old "soon-to-be" mom living in Canada with my lovely boyfriend David & my very cute cat Meow Meow.
where did I come up with the handle "Merlot Mama" well... to start off, you can never go wrong with a nice bottle of Merlot any day of the week, and the "Mama" part is where my steemit page will be mostly revolved around.
I am going to be a NEW MOM! This is my way of documenting my struggles and achievements I will make along the way with my new baby girl, I plan on making daily blog entries about my day as a new mom, what I went through and then the emotional and physical situations I will be going through in this new journey... the good the bad and the ugly.
my goal is to express myself on a SERIOUS level, on a more REAL level, for myself and for all other new moms who may be going through the same things I am going through. I will share articles I find inspiring and insightful and I will show you the world I am going to live in; (not how it is picture perfect in the movies, because we all know that's just a crock of shit!) My goal is to hopefully reach out to other new moms who want to share similar experiences, and trade off on tips and tricks to be the best mommies we can be to our new bundles of joy! Even if you aren't a mom, or are becoming
a mom, or thinking of becoming a mom, I hope I can bring some light, some joy, and some mindfulness to everyone's lives.
along with not only showing your my new mama journey online, I will sometimes dabble in my personal interests such as WINE, cats, books, gardening and anything that sparks my interest at the time in my life. I have a very CHILL attitude to life and I have lots of different paths I can go down to make my life that much more interesting.
if this sparks your interest, please show me some ELLE OH VEE EEEEE (LOVE) and follow me! if you upvote my posts, I will always upvote your beautiful messages and comments and even videos to repay the favor!
I CANNOT wait to start this new, fun, exciting journey I am going to endure.
xoxo, MM

There is a rule that you upvote and / or comment two other mama blogs which are posted in the discord different Chanels, that way we support eachother.
But when you enter the steemitmamas discord there are so many mama’s who help you in the beginning, i saw you arent there yet but when you are there i Will help you, just like @metzli @crossheille @elizacheng and all the other magnificent mums,
Blog to you soon,
