Jess Urlichs

My name is Jess and I am a writer. I live in New Zealand with my husband and have two under two human babies and two fur babies. I am a self published author of my poetry book 'From One Mom to a Mother' and I have a children's book about feelings coming soon which is very close to my heart. I love blogging and writing down my thoughts and in turn have a beautiful community on Instagram and Facebook of other like minded mothers who are here for the messy and beautiful truth of motherhood. You can find Jess on Instagram and Facebook.

Motherly Stories

Motherhood is the longest time—and also the shortest time

Motherhood isn’t one or the other; it’s a combination of both, a recipe of everything. It’s all encompassing and it’s going so fast.

Parenting

Dear self, it’s ok to feel like motherhood is full of contradictions

I've never been more broken, and yet never been more complete.

Life

To the mom who forgets how amazing she is, I see you

You are seen. You are amazing. You are enough.

Baby

Mama, all I see is you

A love letter from your baby.

Motherly Stories

Dear mama, this is what I’ll remember

I remember your comfort and how you kept me warm. I remember your face above me when I cried for you. I remember you would feed me when I was hungry, or tired or in pain.

Baby

Mama, you’re beautiful

Home has a new meaning. You are someone's home.
