Welcome to My Sunrais 🌞
Hi, I’m Rachel (RaiRai 💛). I’ve always loved nicknames, and this one stuck with me.” I’m a mom of three amazing kids, each in a completely different stage — a newborn, a preteen, and a teen. Some days it feels like I’m running three households at once, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Oh, and I homeschool too… because apparently, I like a good challenge.
Why “My Sunrais”?
I named this blog My Sunrais because my kids are my sun rays. Each of them shines in their own way, and even on the hardest days, they are the light that keeps me going. The spelling is a little different on purpose — “Rais” is a nod to my nickname, RaiRai. Coming up with a blog name is tough, but this one just felt right.
Why I’m Here
I created this space to share my real experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood—the good, the hard, and everything in between.
Motherhood stretches you in ways you never expect. It’s full of joy, exhaustion, growth, and moments where you question everything. Writing helps me process those moments, and I hope it gives you a place to feel understood too.
What You’ll Find Here
- Real birth stories
- Postpartum and motherhood experiences
- Honest moments (the ones people don’t always talk about)
- Things that have helped me along the way
A Little Note to You
This is a safe space—no judgment, no comparison. Just honesty, support, and kindness.
Whether you’re a first-time mom, a seasoned parent, or somewhere in between, I hope you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone here.
Think of this as your cozy corner to sit, breathe, and feel a little lighter.
Keep shining,
Rachel (RaiRai đź’›)
