I've always been confused by the way people glamorize motherhood, and frown upon you when you complain about how hard it is, or how it's not what you expected. As a new mother, I was inundated with blanketed and idealistic views of motherhood that were impractical, dishonest, and even dismissive.
I want to use this platform to speak to and with the women and mothers out there who don’t mind honesty, who admire and respect vulnerability, and who are comfortable with encouraging others genuinely. My goal is to create a community, a village – A HOOD – of women (especially mothers) who understand that the journey is different for every parent and every kid. That motherhood comes in various forms, and the definition of successful child-rearing has more definitions than most can quantify or articulate.

Hi, I'm Tia
I am Tomaseena but most people just call me “Tia.” I am a graphic designer by trade, but the rest of my time is spent as a mom, fiancee, entrepreneur and serial creative. I enjoy sharing my favorite tips and content that highlight my journey with relationships, motherhood, and all the adventures in between.
I’m trying to provide great experiences for my family (my daughter and my fiance), create the traditions that I didn’t have, and cultivate the memories that none of us will ever forget. And (along with my fiance) I’m raising a spunky little girl – empowering her to live out loud, dream fearlessly and defy the expectations of her gender. Sometimes all of this gets messy and the never-ending learning process is extremely hard; but its always gratifying.
I love sharing clips of honest motherhood and genuine inspiration through my Instagram page. The highs and lows, ups and downs, successes and failures. It’s a true study in vulnerability. Either way, the journey continues.
![Somewhere along the way, I realized that Deuce was losing his sense of independence and even trust. [ad] I’m sure it was attached to an anxiety he’s developed over time and it’s partially my fault. After I found out I was pregnant, I felt that I couldn’t handle a newborn and a dog. And now he doesn’t trust me. So reconnecting with him has been imperative.
That’s why I was so happy when @thepackonprime sent me a box of toys and play equipment for us to use with Deuce to reestablish a fun bond. It’s in celebration of Amazon Prime Video’s new show, The Pack, which aims to celebrate that unrivaled bond between dogs and their human caretakers on an epic reality-competition adventure to the ends of the earth. In a global journey, and inspired by global dog culture, twelve teams of one human and one dog will race from country to country to compete in incredible challenges which are only achievable by the strength of their bond. #thepacktv
The Pack began on Amazon Prime Video on November 20th. But your family and your dog can also join on the fun by visiting @thepackonprime’s website via the link in my bio. There are ideas for activities as well as discounts, deals and goodies from your favorite dog-loving brands.
