Welcome to my little corner of the internet — I’m so happy you’re here. 🤎
My name is Takira, the woman behind Married to Motherhood. I’m a wife, homemaker, mother of six beautiful children, certified yoga instructor, future doula, and a woman continuously learning herself through every season of life.
Born and raised in Florida, I married my college sweetheart, who is now a retired athlete, and together we’ve built a life rooted in faith, family, love, and growth. Somewhere along the journey, motherhood became the role that transformed me the most. By the age of thirty, I had become a mother of three within three years — and before I knew it, our family continued to grow into the beautifully chaotic household we now call home.
Sports were a major part of my life growing up. I played athletics my entire life and was blessed with the opportunity to continue playing volleyball at the collegiate level. Athletics taught me discipline, resilience, teamwork, and mental strength — qualities that have followed me far beyond the court and into motherhood, marriage, wellness, and everyday life.
Two of my children have ADHD, and one of them is also autistic. Motherhood has taught me that every child experiences the world differently, and navigating neurodivergent parenting has expanded my patience, compassion, advocacy, and understanding in ways I never imagined. To the mothers raising children with unique needs while still trying to care for themselves and everyone around them — I see you, and you are never alone here.
What’s funny is that my younger self envisioned a completely different future. I spent years pursuing Electrical Engineering, believing that would be my lifelong path. But God had other plans for me. While engineering taught me discipline and perseverance, motherhood taught me purpose. Looking back now, I truly believe this journey was always part of the plan.
“Married to Motherhood” was created from women simply asking me questions about motherhood, homemaking, routines, wellness, and how I managed the many moving pieces of family life. What started as casual conversations slowly became a space where I could openly share my experiences, reflections, lessons, and heart with other women walking similar journeys.
I believe motherhood is beautiful, but I also believe in being honest about it. Not every day is picture-perfect. Some days are exhausting, overwhelming, emotional, and messy. But even within the chaos, there is beauty to be found.
Here, you’ll find pieces of my everyday life:
- motherhood reflections
- homemaking & family routines
- wellness and self-care
- recipes and traditions
- strength training & movement
- yoga, Pilates, and mindfulness
- and encouragement for women learning how to care for themselves while caring for everyone else
Health and mindful movement have become deeply important parts of my lifestyle. I’m a certified yoga instructor with over 500 hours of training, and I later completed an additional 95 hours specializing in yoga for children with special needs — a passion deeply connected to my own motherhood journey. I’m also currently in the process of becoming a classically certified Pilates instructor, as well as working toward becoming a certified doula. Supporting women through motherhood and wellness in every stage of life has become something incredibly meaningful to me.
Above all, this space is about authenticity, connection, growth, and grace.
So whether you’re here for encouragement, relatable motherhood moments, wellness inspiration, or simply looking for a community that feels genuine — welcome. I’m grateful you found your way here.
Keep smiling… until next time.
