“Life is better being a mom.”
Do What You Have To Do
Hey mama, are you struggling to get through your day? Are you just not having it with the tantrums, refusals of naps, potty training mishaps, or fighting between children? Well, you are not alone, and I'm here to tell you to do what you gotta do!
The Never Ending Chaos of Motherhood
Motherhood is great, but one thing you will never hear is a mom tell you that it's easy. Whether you're a mother of one or ten, you'll definitely understand what I'm talking about when I say that it doesn't matter the amount of kids we have, the chaos surrounds us all.
Dear Daughter, Please Forgive Me
Baby girl, As I approach the day it's time to tell you where you came from, the day I tell you that the daddy you thought was your own flesh and blood, is in fact your daddy through love, I pray God gives you understanding and grace for your mama.
Focus On the Good to Enjoy the Growth
What do you see in this picture? You see a baby grinning from ear to ear. You see a happy moment with a child playing in the tub. What you don't see is a baby who peed in the tub, or a baby who threw a large cup full of that gross bath water in mommy's face. Parenting is full of joyful moments and it's also full of tough ones, but we can either choose to focus on the good or allow the bad overwhelm us.
Finding and Maintaining Mom Friends
Can I just say that I love other mamas like you! Moms that can support each other in this journey of parenthood. Moms that can lift one another up when we've had a hard day. Moms that understand that texting back sometimes may take up to a week or longer. Moms that laugh together at the ridiculous and sometimes inappropriate things our kids say. Having other moms in your life is highly important, but there's always the question of how exactly do we find and maintain these friendships? Especially since parenthood is such a busy stage in life.
Raising Kids Really Does Take A Village
I would like to sit here and tell you that me and my husband have got this whole parenting thing figured out. I would love to tell you that my children need us and only us. I'd love to even say that when they need help with something, they automatically want to come to us, and whenever they have a question, we are their first choice of people to ask. However, I'd be lying if I said that. My daughters and all kids everywhere need other adults to come alongside of us parents as we raise our children. Okay, so me and my husband are extremely lucky!
