CO Featured Mom: Meet Bayleigh

 / 

Motherhood is a journey as unique as you are, so it can often feel like you're doing it alone. Here at Colored Organics, we love to unite you together, even if it's only virtually, to share some wisdom and camaraderie on the rollercoaster journey of parenting. We are so excited to share some motherhood insights from Massachusetts-based mama, Bayleigh!

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF!

I'm Bayleigh Marquis, a wife, and stay-at-home mom to 11-month-old Chatham June. We live in Massachusetts so you'll often spot me savoring a warm lobster roll while on the waterfront or exploring a cute, coastal town. My faith in Jesus is the most important thing to me. I spend most of my day to day in the community with other moms and babies: playing, going on walks, and just doing life together!

WHAT'S THE MOST REWARDING PART OF BEING A PARENT?

Wow! Honestly, most things in motherhood feel like a reward. The milestones, the firsts, the smiles. But the most rewarding thing for me is being my daughter’s favorite person! The person she looks for when she’s happy or sad, the person she wants when she’s sleepy, and the person she always lunges for if she’s being held by someone else. It’s a huge confidence boost to be someone’s whole world!

WHAT IS THE MOST SURPRISING THING ABOUT PARENTHOOD?

I think the most surprising part about motherhood is constantly feeling “bittersweet” about everything. There’s an excitement for the future but an ache for the past. It’s true when they say the days are long but the years are short! I often feel like I’m already missing a moment I’m currently in.

WHAT DOES SELF-CARE LOOK LIKE TO YOU?

Self-care for me looks like a deep conversation with my husband or friends, ice cream and my favorite TV show, or time spent reading my Bible!

WHAT CHORE WOULD YOU FOREVER OUTSOURCE?

10000% dishes! We don’t have a dishwasher so doing the dishes can take forever between washing, drying, and putting away.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF COLORED ORGANICS?

My favorite part of Colored Organics, and what drew me to them in the first place, was that their clothes are made of ethically sourced organic cotton. I knew that I wanted non-toxic products for my baby and that included her clothes. Additionally, all of their clothes are beautifully designed, so between the quality and aesthetics, we can’t get enough!

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO AN EXPECTING MAMA?

The advice I would give to an expecting mama is that the joy that’s coming is beyond what she can even imagine. There may be hard days in pregnancy, sleepless nights, or worries, but motherhood is so beautiful and rewarding. I’d remind her that at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if she has the best baby clothes or the most expensive stroller blanket, her baby just wants her: her love, attention, and time.
