10 Latina Moms You Should Be Following on Instagram
One of the things that hit me the hardest when I first became a mother is how isolated I sometimes felt. I was in this bubble of exhaustion and childcare. I yearned for a connection with other mothers going through the same thing, but I was too tired to even try. Thank goodness for the internet and my smart phone because I was able to find to feel connected to other Latina moms via Instagram.
As I nursed my baby to sleep, I could scroll through the feeds of fabulous Latina moms on Instagram and be inspired. Here are a few that I recommend:
Jay Miranda
