Crunchy Mom + Scrunchy Mom = The Crunchy Mom Center (with a Silky Twist) = Crunchy Mom Centered™
Welcome to the warm, wild middle ground - where homemade bone broth simmers beside a pan of Perrogies, and Smoothies and yogurt shares fridge space with Iced Coffe. This is Crunchy Mom Centered™, where we skip the mom-label wars and just do what works - with a sprinkle of intention, a dash of reality, and maybe a silk pillowcase.
Wait - What Even Are These Mom Types?
Crunchy Mom:
- Breastfeeds past two, cloth diapers, makes her own elderberry syrup
- Buys organic everything, says no to Tylenol, yes to essential oils
- “My baby’s teething, so I’m making a Baltic amber necklace and bone broth popsicles”
Silky Mom:
- Epidural, formula, convenience is queen
- Vaccinates on schedule, loves modern medicine, trusts her pediatrician
- “My baby’s teething, so I bought a freezer full of frozen waffles and teething gel”
Scrunchy Mom:
- Somewhere in between
- Might cloth diaper during the day and use disposables at night
- Believes in natural remedies and Tylenol when needed
- “My baby’s teething, so we’re doing frozen washcloths and Cocomelon until it passes”
Crunchy Mom Center Is That Scrunchy Sweet Spot - Just With a More Intentional Twist
We’re not here to argue labels. We’re here to:
- Ferment cabbage and drink Ice Coffee on a road trip
- Breastfeed or formula feed (or both), and support each other no matter what
- Try baby-led weaning, but keep pouches in the diaper bag because life happens
- Use herbs, homeopathy, and also a thermometer and actual medicine when needed
- Make DIY salves and still wear mascara when we feel like it
- Make homemade pizza or buy one because life
- Eats low carb foods or doesn't because one size does not fit all
- Makes vegan mushroom burger or smash burgers with tomatoes lettuce and sprouts
And the Silky Side? That’s Self-Care. That’s Sanity. That’s Letting Go.
The silky twist means we:
- Embrace luxury when we can (silk pillowcases, thank you very much)
- Know that naps are more important than perfection
- Buy the damn rotisserie chicken
- Normalize not doing it all
- Trust ourselves above the noise
So, What Do We Believe Here at Crunchy Mom Center?
- No mom guilt. Period.
- Community over comparison
- Holistic doesn’t mean extreme
- Gentle parenting, strong coffee
- Nourish yourself so you can nourish them
- Self love, self care
- Real food, real talk, real messy magic
We’re More Than Just Moms - We’re Women, Healers, and Whole-Hearted Humans
This space isn’t just for feeding babies and packing lunch boxes - it’s for nourishing the soul beneath the title. The one who existed before the babies, before the diapers, before the milestones. The woman who still breathes beneath the busyness.
We’ve been under-taught self-care.
We’ve been under-taught self-love.
We’ve been conditioned to put ourselves last and still feel guilty for wanting more.
But here’s the truth: when we tend to ourselves, everything blooms.
- Our families feel our peace
- Our partners witness our glow
- Our children learn boundaries, balance, and the beauty of saying “I matter too”
Self-care isn’t selfish - it’s a legacy.
Self-love isn’t indulgence - it’s medicine.
We garden or tend To Plants because it connects us to life.
- Houseplants soften our homes and oxygenate our spaces
- Herb gardens aren’t just trendy - they’re ancestral
- Digging into soil resets nervous systems and reminds us we’re part of the Earth
We love the moon because it reminds us we are cyclical beings.
- We bleed with the tides
- We set intentions with the new moon and release what no longer serves us at the full
- We live seasonally - resting in winter, blooming in spring, blazing in summer, and harvesting in autumn
You don’t have to follow the moon or grow your own chamomile to be here - but if you do, you’re deeply welcome.
You might track your ovulation with an app, a journal, or intuition.
You might grow calendula beside your kitchen sink or in your garden.
You might know exactly when Mercury’s going retrograde (and light a candle just in case).
This is a place where magic, motherhood, and womanhood intertwine, where soft is sacred, and strong is silent when it needs to be and other times it roars like a momma lioness.
Whether your self-care looks like moon rituals or bubble baths, therapy or tarot, gardening barefoot or hiding in the pantry with a tray of strawberries dipped in dark chocolate - you’re still tending something precious.
You.
Final Thoughts For Now
This is a lifestyle built on listening to our intuition, blending old wisdom with modern tools, and lifting up other moms - whether they co-sleep or sleep train, nurse or pump, bake sourdough or burn toast.
Crunchy Mom Centered™ is your cozy corner of calm, chaos, and connection. If this is You - You belong here.
