Welcome to Holistic Life Mama

Hi there! I’m Mary Jane, the mama behind Holistic Life Mama, and I’m so glad you’re here. This space is where motherhood meets mindful, natural living—without the pressure to be perfect. Think of it as a cozy corner of the internet where we can swap stories, share remedies, and figure out how to balance it all (or at least try).

Holistic Life Mama is more than a blog—it’s a journey. It’s about embracing the messy, beautiful chaos of motherhood while exploring ways to live more naturally, intentionally, and joyfully. Whether you’re here for a DIY elderberry syrup recipe, tips on creating a toxin-free home, or just a little encouragement on a tough day, you’re in the right place.

The Beginning of My Story

Holistic Life Mama started as scribbles in a notebook during nap times. I wasn’t looking to build a brand—I was just trying to piece together what felt right for my family. Between sleepless nights, toddler snacks, and a pile of library books on herbs and mindful parenting, I realized I was collecting a rhythm of living that made me feel both steadier and lighter. This site is my way of putting that rhythm into words—so other mothers, maybe like you, don’t feel like they’re fumbling alone.

I’ve always felt health advice comes at us in extremes: strict rules on one end, wild trends on the other. Holistic Life Mama is my middle ground. It’s about what I’ve tried, what I’ve questioned, and what I’ve kept. I share because stories carry something lists of rules can’t—they make ideas usable, relatable, and human. If you leave here with one new way to make your home healthier, your routine calmer, or your remedies cabinet a little simpler, I’ve done my job.

What “Holistic” Means to Me

For me, holistic is a lens. It means looking at motherhood not as separate boxes (me, the kids, the house, the meals) but as a woven whole. The way we eat affects how we sleep. The way we breathe changes how we parent. Even the products under the sink matter when little hands touch everything. Holistic Life Mama is where I trace those connections and share the patterns I notice, with equal parts curiosity and practicality.

Our Core Topics

Mindful Motherhood

Motherhood invites growth as much as it requires care. We explore emotional resilience, intentional parenting, self-awareness, and ways to cultivate deeper connection with children while honoring your own needs and boundaries.

Everyday Wellness

Modern family wellness is less about trends and more about thoughtful awareness—noticing what helps, what restores, and what creates balance over time. We explore practical, experience-informed ideas that invite families to experiment with simple habits and supportive routines. Each piece aims to inspire informed choices while keeping wellness approachable, flexible, and rooted in real life.

Home Living

The home is more than a physical space; it’s an emotional environment that shapes family life. We explore routines, organization, and simple design philosophies that help create spaces that feel nurturing, calm, and authentically lived in.
