Influencer Melissa Mae Carlton has been pulling back the curtain on life with her four children online for years. "Motherhood is an eternal calling. In all of us is potential and promise," Carlton wrote via Instagram in May 2025. "The full culmination of those blessings in the family are not experienced yet on this earth. Even as parents today, we're still waiting on the promise that comes from making and keeping covenants. We will all fall short here and lots of things may seem unfair.
