A little about me...

Hey there! My name is Ivelisse and I’m a single mom raising awesome twin boys with special needs, and let me tell you—it’s a wild ride full of love, laughter, and plenty of learning along the way. We homeschool, we adapt, and we’re figuring things out one day at a time.

I started The Mama Bear Mission to connect with other parents who get what it’s like to be in the trenches of special needs parenting. This space is all about sharing real stories, tips that actually work, and finding the humor (even on the tough days!).

Whether you’re here for a little inspiration, or just to feel like someone gets it, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the journey—we’re in this together!
