A little about Amina!

A little about Amina!

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!
Our mission?
