On March 30th, 2025, something magical happened. Moms from every walk of life stepped away from their routines, their packed schedules, and their unending to-do lists to do something that rarely makes the calendar: pour into themselves.

It was Mother’s Day with The Mindful Moms, and we called it what it was: a Sip & Paint Brunch filled with laughter, warmth, self-expression, and good food. But it turned out to be so much more than that.

The room was buzzing with soft conversation and clinking glasses. Moms arrived one by one, greeted with refreshing welcome drinks and the soft hug of music playing in the background. But the real magic started when each woman reached for her Affirmation Card, thoughtfully placed at the entrance.

“You are not behind. You are blooming at your own pace. “Today, joy is your birthright.”

Smiles bloomed. Shoulders softened. And just like that, we were all in.

Our radiant host, Thelma, kicked off the event with a heartfelt welcome address, grounding us in love and intention. Then the MC led a fun, light-hearted introduction session; each mom got to say her name and something fun about herself, and instantly, the room felt like a cozy living room of friends catching up, not strangers meeting for the first time.

Sip & Paint, the Mindful Moms Way

We rolled up our sleeves, picked up our paintbrushes, and leaned into pure creativity.

Canvas by canvas, color by color, we sipped, laughed, shared light bites, and just enjoyed. No perfectionism. No pressure. Just the permission to play, to be soft, to make something with our hands.

As soft music floated in the background, women found a rhythm, painting, sipping, and chatting with their tablemates. For many of us, it was the first time in a long time we’d done something simply for the joy of it.

And joy was everywhere.

A Feast Fit for the Queens We Are

It was time to eat, and our hearts and bellies were ready.

It wasn’t just a menu, it was an experience. Moms piled their plates with joy, not guilt, and the only waist trainer allowed at this brunch was none at all.

Dessert? Oh, you mean the Sweet Mom-ents DIY Dessert Bar? It was just as delightful as it sounds. A sprinkle of nostalgia, a drizzle of sweetness, and a whole lot of fun.

The Letter Exchange That Left Us Speechless

The event slowed down for the most emotional part of the day: the letter exchange moment.

Before the event, each mom was secretly paired with another and asked to write her an encouraging letter. Now it was time to open them.

The room grew still. Pages rustled. Tears flowed. Some moms smiled quietly. Others embraced. A few just sat with their letter pressed to their chest, letting the words sink deep.

It reminded us that sometimes, what we need most is not advice, but a voice that says, “You’re doing great, and you’re not alone.”

A Community Worth Coming Home To

This wasn’t just an event. It was a gathering of women who get it, who know what it means to give so much of yourself every day and still choose to rise with grace.

At The Mindful Moms, we create spaces like this on purpose: To pause. To pour in. To reconnect with ourselves and each other.

Whether you came for the jollof or the painting, left with a new friend or just a full heart, you belong here.

And if you missed this one? Don’t worry. We’ve got so much more planned, and we can’t wait to welcome you in.

Because at Mindful Moms, you’re not just another mom, you’re a woman we see, value, and celebrate.
