We are so happy to finally be launching this passion project on ours…Amina Candle Co.
A little about myself, my name is Chay. When my son, Amari, made me a mother nine years ago, I was very lost trying to figure out how to be the greatest mother I want to be and still connect my new self, with my old self. I’m pretty sure I was in denial that everything has already changed. I fought it for a few months, maybe even a year. I fought being my new self so much that I went back to work when my son was only five months old. At only five months he spent more time with my mother-in-law, who is amazing by the way, while I go and trade my time away with him. After a few months it hit me. I felt so selfish and so much regret that I cried driving home and then park at our nearby 7eleven to calm my self-induced anxiety over being an abandoning mother. Sounds dramatic I know, but dramatic is me! After my daughter, Mina, made me a mother of two it was different. One child was hard, but two was chaos…I was outnumbered, but also twice the amount of happiness. I became and fully embraced being a stay at home mom. I opened my eyes and my heart to the joy my children brought me every day. Those are pretty amazing little humans I have.
My son Amari Michael (first name meaning “eternal” and his middle name in dedication of his late dear uncle) – a very smiley, lover of all things, kind hearted boy. He lives his life with such a light that fills an entire room and it is so selfless. I mean nothing about this kid is tainted…he is such beautiful soul. I am very lucky to be his Beyblade battle partner.
My daughter Mina Honora (first name meaning “gift” and her middle name in dedication of my paternal grandmother who raised me) – feisty, saucy, and nurturing all at the same time. She is a loyal daddy’s girl and protector of all things princess and mermaids.
Therefore, meet our family love project – Amina Candle Co.! We combined our kids first names to Amina which also means “trust” and “faith”. I mean it just feels right, we are exactly where we are supposed to be!
