Hi, I’m Richa 🤍

Boy mom, MBA, CGMA, and currently figuring out how to build a life that includes motherhood, financial freedom, and flexibility beyond the 9–5.

I’m exploring online income streams, documenting the journey, and sharing everything I learn along the way.

If you’re navigating motherhood, career pivots, side hustles, or dreaming of more freedom and flexibility, welcome. ✨

Nobody prepares you for the morning your baby turns one. 🤍

One year ago, we were holding you for the very first time.

Today, we woke up to a curious, mischievous little boy who has completely changed our world.

The shortest, longest, most beautiful year of our lives. 🥹🎂

Happy 1st Birthday, my baby. 🤍

PREGNANT MAMA, PLEASE DON’T LET BIRTH HORROR STORIES BE THE ONLY ONES YOU HEAR. 🥹🤍

Not every birth story is traumatic. Not every delivery has to be remembered with fear. And yes, it IS possible to have a beautiful, positive birth experience. 🫶🏻

When I was pregnant, I wish more people had told me this. Because somewhere along the way, birth stories became filled with so much fear that it’s easy to forget that every pregnancy, every labour and every delivery is DIFFERENT.

I gave birth to my baby boy in Dubai, and my experience was genuinely beautiful. 🤍 I had a hospital where I felt cared for, a team that made me feel safe, and the most precious part? My baby stayed with me, and I got to soak in those first moments with him. 🥹

Was it a magical experience because everything is always perfect? No. Every birth comes with its own uncertainties. But I felt supported, heard and cared for, and that made such a difference to me.

So, to every pregnant mama reading this:

✨ You are allowed to feel excited about giving birth.
✨ You are allowed to hope for a positive birth experience.
✨ You can ask questions, discuss your birth preferences and choose a care team that makes you feel safe.
✨ You don’t have to absorb every frightening birth story you hear.

And if your birth experience was traumatic, your story matters, too. ❤️ Sharing positive experiences isn’t about invalidating anyone else’s pain. It’s about reminding expecting mothers that there is more than one kind of birth story.

Dear pregnant mama, you deserve to hear the reassuring stories, too. 🥹🤍

If you’re expecting your first baby, take a deep breath. Educate yourself, speak openly with your healthcare team, ask for the support you need, and take this journey one step at a time.

💌 Share this with a pregnant friend who needs a little reassurance today.
👇🏻 Mamas, tell us: what is ONE thing you wish someone had told you before giving birth?

My husband gave me a mini him… and somehow I got the more fun version. 😂❤️

Sorry, husband. The competition isn’t even close. 😂

Boy moms… you get it. 🥹
Would you choose your husband or your mini him? 👀👇

This cute luggage from @beaba_middleeast for my toddler…and now I’m wondering why I didn’t get one sooner. 🤍

Packing for a toddler means ALL the toddler essentials — diapers, wipes, snacks, extra clothes, toys and everything I’m convinced we’ll need when we leave the house 😂

This toddler bag fits it all, looks adorable and has quickly become one of my favourite mom finds for traveling with a toddler and everyday outings.

But the sweetest part?

When he eventually outgrows this toddler travel bag, I’m turning it into his keepsake luggage — filled with his tiny clothes and little memories from these years. 🥹

Because these baby and toddler years go way too fast.

What baby/toddler item have you kept as a keepsake? 🤍

Toddler dressing doesn’t have to be a daily battle 😂🤍

I’m officially obsessed with this little set — the print is SO cute, the bamboo fibre feels like butter, and it’s stretchy enough for all the running, playing and toddler chaos.

And the magnetic closures? 🙌
No tiny buttons. No wrestling. Just snap and done.

Cute for him. Easy for me. Win-win. 🥹

Postpartum hair loss really said: “let me take your hairline too.” 😭

If you’re a postpartum mom dealing with excessive shedding, thinning hair or those annoying bald patches around the hairline… you’re definitely not alone. 🥲

I’ve decided to put the Lilyeve Exosome Hair Growth Serum + Spicule 3000 to the test for the next 3 months @lilyeve_global — especially on these postpartum bald patches.

I got mine from GCC Bazaar @gccbazaarfze , and I’m starting this journey with ZERO idea what the results will look like. 👀

The Spicule 3000 is being added to my routine for scalp stimulation + deeper product delivery, while I’m using the serum directly on my thinning areas.

This is Day 1. Save this reel and follow along @napsandpaycheck because we’re checking these exact spots again in 3 months. 🤞🏻

If you’re also dealing with postpartum hair loss, comment “HAIR” so I know I’m not alone. 🥹🤍

DAY 1 of teaching my 15-month-old to brush his teeth 🪥😂

Step 1: Secure the CUTEST toothbrush possible.
Step 2: Let him hold it and get familiar with it.
Step 3: I brush my own teeth right in front of him and hope he eventually thinks, “Ohhh… so THIS is what we’re doing.” 😂

I’m giving this 3 days of copying + consistency to see if my toddler actually learns to brush his teeth by watching me.

Will he copy me… or will this toothbrush become an expensive chew toy? 💀😂

SAVE this if you’re also trying to teach your toddler to brush their teeth 🪥
And SEND it to a parent currently fighting the daily toothbrush battle. 😂

Follow along for Day 2 + the final result because I genuinely have NO idea if this experiment is going to work. 👀

My favourite spot in the house… and it’s not the sofa 😂🤍

If you ever come to my house, this is probably where you’ll find me — on the floor, on my Doodah mat @doodahmats , with my little one. 🥹

Because apparently motherhood = spending half your life on the floor 😂

And when your baby is crawling, rolling, climbing and turning the living room into a wrestling arena, having a 3cm memory foam play mat makes those moments a little more comfortable.

Non-toxic ✔️
OEKO-TEX® certified ✔️
Cushioned ✔️
Actually aesthetic ✔️

If you’re a mom navigating babyhood + toddlerhood, follow along — we’re figuring it all out together. 🤍

📤 Send this to the mom who basically lives on the floor 😂
💾 Save this for your baby-proofing / baby essentials list.

Postpartum hair said: CHOP IT OFF. ✂️😂

I walked into my usual salon hoping to finally treat my dry, frizzy, brittle postpartum hair… but my clingy toddler had other plans. 🫠

So I settled for a mom bob — short, fresh and SO much easier to manage. And honestly? I think I needed this haircut more than I needed the treatment. 🤍

One haircut down… but we’re NOT done yet 👀

Part 2: I’m finally colouring my hair! 🎨✂️

POV: you finally sit down for ONE brownie in peace… and suddenly everyone wants a piece 😂🍫

Mommy was unavailable. Daddy got involved. We both agreed the brownies were too good… and then our toddler walked in like, “Excuse me, what are WE having?” 😂

Because apparently nothing in a house with a toddler is ever truly yours. Not your food. Not your snacks. Not even your guilty pleasure. 😭

The way toddlers can hear a wrapper open from another room but somehow don’t hear us calling their name 17 times. 😂

Tell me your toddler does this too 👇🏼
And send this to the mom or dad who can NEVER eat anything in peace. 🤎
