So... this is my very first blog post, and I am so nervous.
I’m not a writer, I’m not an influencer, I’m just a mom trying to figure it all out. I’m Lerato the heart behind ForevaV — a lovingly curated baby and toddler boutique where luxury meets the joys of childhood.
Let me start by saying “I’m so glad you are here”. Whether you’re a fellow new mom, a veteran supermom, or a baby boutique browser with a soft spot for tiny booties — welcome to my chaotic, beautiful corner of the internet.
Finally writing my first blog post, not as a first-time mom (been there, still recovering with my three kids), but as the new mom to ForevaV. And wow, what a ride it's already been.
Let me start with a little story.
A few years ago, I came across a brand that just got it. The kind of baby boutique that made you feel warm, proud, and like your little one deserved all the soft, stylish things. That brand was ForevaV, and behind it was a passionate woman named Suzie.
Over time, Suzie and I connected — first as fellow moms, then as dreamers, and eventually, as two women who deeply believed in creating something meaningful for our littles and for ourselves. When she decided it was time focus her attention of another business, I felt something in my heart whisper: This is your baby now, an opportunity to do what I love!
I promised her that I’d take care of ForevaV, nurture it, grow it, and love it… forever.
And just like that after months, I became a mom again - this time, to a beautiful little business with so much soul.
If you’ve ever had a dream tug at your heart while you’re making school lunchboxes or folding tiny laundry at midnight, you’ll understand this: I’ve always wanted to be a mompreneur.
The kind of woman who builds with her babies in mind. Who blends business with passion, who can dream during nap time, and still show up fully for her family.
But for a long time, I doubted whether I could do it.
I didn’t have it all figured out. I still don’t.
But when ForevaV came into my life, I knew it was time to stop waiting for the "perfect moment" and just begin.
What ForevaV Means to Me
ForevaV isn’t just a store.
It’s a love letter to all the moms out there who adore beautifully made baby items…
To the new moms looking for something special…
To the seasoned moms (like me!) who still get giddy over baby knits and soft swaddles…
And to the mompreneurs who are juggling it all and trying to make it work.
It’s also my way of building something my kids can be proud of. Something that reminds them their mom followed her dreams, even when it felt scary.
I’ll be sharing more about our ForevaV products soon (they are SO dreamy, I can’t wait), but I also want this blog to feel like a space for stories, lessons, laughter, and connection.
If you're a mom, a shopper, a dreamer, or a business builder — you belong here.
And if you’ve ever wanted permission to go after something on your heart… this is it.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to start. 💛
Thanks for being here. I’m so excited to grow ForevaV with you.
With all my love,
Lerato
Proud new mom to ForevaV
Dreamer. Forever inspired by motherhood.
