MODERN THOUGHTS OF A MODERN MOM
Welcome to Modern Thoughts of a Modern Mom! I'm Samantha. I live in South Carolina with my Sweetheart Brentyn and our four little girls. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My journey of postpartum and OCD has been personal and unique. Through this journey I have been able to discover more about myself and what matters most. I've found tools, and I've found oh so much strength through Christ. It is my hope that my experiences will help someone find that light that I so desperately needed and continue to need during such a trying time of my life.
