hi there!

My baby calls me "mama", but you can call me Bonnie. A graphic designer, mama, wife, and full-time wrangler of one tiny human, a giant pointer doggo (aka my baby before my actual baby), a nervous siamese cat, and an overly-friendly tuxedo cat.

For over ten years, I’ve been chasing my passion for design, but nothing prepared me for the whirlwind of becoming a mom.

motherhood is magical...and also kind of lonely.

In the middle of sleepless nights, hormonal mood swings, and endless diaper changes, I craved connection. Not just any connection, but one that understood what it’s like to love fiercely while also feeling completely out of your depth. Constantly. I wanted a mom friend who “just understood”.

It was hard being this new mom with endless to-dos, trying to leave the house with a baby and a head full of anxiety. So I also wanted to find this connection from the comfort (and safety) of my own home.

that’s how Mama Mail was born.

Each month, I brainstorm "what would make a mom happy?". Design it. Then send out a little envelope of creative joy in hopes it makes you pause and smile and remember you’re not alone.

Let’s be real: motherhood can get isolating, and us mamas have to stick together. This is my way of sharing a hug through the mail, one thoughtful print at a time.

So, if you ever need a tiny spark of happiness in your week or a reminder that someone else (me and my zoo) is cheering for you, then you've come to the right place. And I'm so happy you're here. ♡ bd
