About the Blog
Welcome to Nanay Chronicles.
I'm MomLen—a mother, a widow, a storyteller, and, somewhere along the way, a crochet enthusiast who discovered that every stitch carries a memory.
This little corner of the internet began as a place to write about life after loss. Over the years, it has grown into a collection of stories about family, faith, motherhood, healing, laughter, and the quiet lessons hidden in ordinary days.
Every now and then, you'll also find the stories behind my crochet creations—because they're never just about yarn. They're about the season of life in which they were made.
So whether you're a parent, a fellow solo parent, someone learning to begin again, or simply someone who enjoys heartfelt stories, I hope you'll find something here that reminds you you're not walking alone.
I'm glad you're here.💙
When my children were growing up, I wasn’t the mother who did everything right.
I didn’t wake up early in the mornings to prepare my children for school. Because of that, they learned to prepare themselves—a habit of independence they proudly carried into adulthood. Two of them are now working, and two have finished college.
I wasn’t much of a cook either, although I still smile whenever my children talk about the few specific dishes of mine they actually loved.
