Dear fellow drumming enthusiasts and moms,

I am thrilled to kick off Drumming Momma Diaries with my very first blog post. This platform is not only a creative outlet for me but also a way to connect with other drummers who are navigating the unique path of motherhood. Through this blog, I hope to inspire and empower fellow drumming moms, as well as share the ups and downs of my personal journey.

Becoming a mother was a life-altering experience, filled with overwhelming joy and an abundance of love. However, it also brought about a significant shift in my priorities and daily routines. As I embraced the beautiful chaos of motherhood, I found myself wondering how I could continue pursuing my passion for drumming amidst the demands of raising a family.

Being a drumming mom was not without its challenges. There were moments of doubt when I questioned whether I could balance my responsibilities as a mother and devote enough time to my drumming practice. Yet, I soon realized that my passion for drumming was not something I had to sacrifice, but rather something that could enrich my life and the life of my daughter.

As my little one grew, I discovered innovative ways to integrate music into our daily routines. We would turn household chores into drumming sessions, using pots and pans as makeshift instruments. We would have impromptu jam sessions, with her gleefully joining in with her toy drums and shakers. 

It was either during school hours, when the house was quiet or when the little one was away with family, that I would slide over to my drum set in the corner of my bedroom. The moment my sticks touched the skins, the stresses of the day melted away, and I felt alive. Drumming became my sanctuary—a place where I could reclaim my identity and find solace in the rhythm.

These moments became cherished memories, fostering a love for music and rhythm that I hope will stay with her for a lifetime.

Drumming Momma Diaries is here to document the triumphs, the setbacks, and the lessons learned along the way. I'll share tips on finding time for practice, creative ways to involve your children in drumming, and personal stories that highlight the joys and challenges of being a drumming mom.

Together, let's celebrate the unique journey of combining motherhood and drumming. Let's inspire and support one another as we find our rhythm amidst the beautiful chaos of family life. I invite you to join me on this exciting adventure, and I look forward to hearing your stories, insights, and experiences as well.

Stay tuned for more posts, as we dive deeper into the world of drumming and motherhood. Together, we can create a community of strong, passionate, and rhythm-loving drumming mommas.

Until next time,
