the story behind the name

I am the mother of a fantastically fabulous boy human named Kai.

SOMEWHERE ALONG OUR 13-YEAR JOURNEY TOGETHER, I STARTED CALLING HIM KIKO.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. MAYBE BECAUSE HIS NAME STARTS WITH A K? YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.
He has called me Momma all his life.

MY HEART GOES ALL SQUISHY, WARM AND GOOEY AT THE FACT THAT HE HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO EVEN NOW THAT HE IS OFFICIALLY A TEENAGER (TEENS ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO BE COOL AND CALL THEIR MOTHER THINGS LIKE “MOM”).
when i found myself suddenly a full time solo parent

I WAS NO LONGER JUST A MOTHER TO A TEEN BOY ANYMORE — I ALSO BECAME THE HOUSEMATE OF ONE.
If you don’t know much about teenage boys, here’s a quick summary:

THEY ARE NOT, BY NATURE, ESPECIALLY ORGANIZED, SELF-MOTIVATED, OR NATURALLY INCLINED TOWARD HOUSEHOLD SYSTEMS.
THEY ALSO TEND TO HAVE WILDLY DIFFERENT INTERESTS THAN GROWN ADULT HUMAN LADY PEOPLE.
SO I WENT LOOKING FOR OVERLAP.

SOMETHING WE COULD ACTUALLY ENJOY DOING TOGETHER.
ENTER: NINTENDO.
AS A KID I ALWAYS LOVED VIDEO GAMES

I CONTINUED PLAYING WELL INTO MY TWENTIES .
I ACTUALLY DIDN’T STOP PLAYING UNTIL I HAD A KID. I JUST NO LONGER HAD THE TIME AND SPACE TO.
MOTHERHOOD HAS A WAY OF REORGANIZING ONE’S IDENTITY (AND INTERESTS) OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
KAI, LIKE A LOT OF KIDS THESE DAYS, IS VERY INTO VIDEO GAMES AND VERY GOOD AT THEM.
FINDING WAYS TO PLAY TOGETHER ENDED UP DOING SOMETHING I HADN'T EXPECTED

IT DIDN’T JUST HELP CONNECT US TO EACH OTHER…
IT CONNECTED ME BACK TO A PART OF MYSELF I HADN’T REALIZED I MISSED.
FINDING OUR game style TOOK SOME TRIAL AND ERROR

WE TRIED SOME OF THE CLASSICS
MARIO KART WAS A HIT.
COUCH CO-OP SUPER MARIO BROTHERS… ALMOST ENDED IN MUTUAL EVICTION.
PLAYING “TOGETHER” QUICKLY TURNED INTO A LOT OF:

“JUST LET ME DO IT.”
“COME OVER HERE.”
“THAT ONE IS MINE.”
SO I WENT SEARCHING ONLINE FOR GAMES THAT MIGHT WORK BETTER FOR US.

THAT’S WHEN I DISCOVERED THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF COZY INDIE GAMES.
COZY INDIE GAMES ARE:

GAMES WITH GORGEOUS ART.
WHIMSICAL WORLDS.
RICH STORIES.
FANTASTICAL ADVENTURES THAT DON’T FRY YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM.
KAI WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST

BUT OBVIOUSLY HE WAS QUICKLY WON OVER TO THE COZY SIDE
SOON WE WERE SPENDING EVENINGS COZIED UP ON THE COUCH HELPING

MAGICAL CREATURES REBUILD COMMUNITIES.
EXPLORING ENCHANTED ISLANDS.
AND CRYING TOGETHER OVER HEARTFELT STORYLINES.
WE STARTED JOKING THAT WE WOULD BE A HILARIOUS TEAM TO STREAM —

ME- FREQUENTLY HAVING NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING
KAI- LAUGHING AS I WALKED INTO WALLS AND PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTONS
WE NAMED OUR IMAGINARY CHANNEL: MOMMAKIKO

THE STORY OF A MOM AND HER KID FINDING COMMON GROUND AND LEARNING HOW TO ENJOY BEING TOGETHER IN A NEW WAY.
WE HAVEN'T STARTED THAT CHANNEL (YET…).

BUT THE NAME STAYED WITH ME.
AND OVER TIME, MOMMAKIKO BECAME SOMETHING BIGGER.
IT BECAME A SYMBOL OF WHAT I WAS ALREADY DOING IN MY REAL LIFE:

FIGURING OUT HOW TO CREATE SYSTEMS, SPACES, AND RHYTHMS THAT SUPPORT A REAL, IMPERFECT, GROWING HOUSEHOLD AS IT CHANGES AND TRANSITIONS ALONG WITH THE PEOPLE LIVING THEIR LIVES INSIDE ITS WALLS.
MOMMAKIKO IS ORGANIZATION, DESIGN + SUPPORT FOR INTENTIONALLY CREATING HOMES , SYSTEMS + LIVES THAT NURTURE, NOURISH AND HOLD.
