In that cold hospital room, time stood still. The smell of bleach, the hum of machines, the words I never wanted to hear — “There’s no heartbeat.” That moment changed everything. It’s a piece from one of the books I’ve been writing, but it’s also my truth — the story of the Minnows I never got to raise. As we honor Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on October 15th, I hold space for every parent who’s loved and lost. 💜

May at Mermaid Kove was a beautiful whirlwind-packed with family celebrations, end-of-school chaos, and tons of gratitude. We honored AAPI Heritage Month, celebrated Mother’s Day, reflected on mental health, and remembered our military heroes. Through it all, the ocean and this amazing community kept me grounded. 💙

From Grinch to Christmas lover, motherhood transformed the holidays. Now, it’s about love, joy, and magic with my little minnows. 🎄❤️
