what i stopped stressing about as a mom

with my first, i stressed about pretty much everything. and after my second, i realized these things weren’t as big of a deal.

• sleep schedules are amazing! but it’s OKAY to miss out on some naps every once in a while. of course my kids are in bed by a certain time, but you don’t always have to make sure they’re in bed at that time, ALL OF THE TIME

• screen time is actually my friend. as a SAHM i try my best to make sure my husband is taken care of, as well as my girls. putting on Moana or Frozen so i can cook has been a HUGE HELP. rainy day? movies all day with free play.

• milestone comparisons are the worst. all babies are different and learn on their own pace. i find myself comparing my daughters at times and it’s something i need to stop doing! if you ever catch yourself doing that, remind yourself that every baby learns differently! 🤍

I used to worry about messy rooms and toys everywhere. But tonight they’re asleep and the house is quiet… and I’m reminded that the mess often means they had the best day. Childhood is short. I’m learning to stress less and enjoy it more. What’s something you stopped stressing about as a parent?

Stop stressing
We all experience difficult times in life, but it's important to remember that we can always call upon the Lord for help. He already knows what we need, so take a moment to relax and trust in His plan for us. Whatever comes our way, we can face it with faith, hope, and grace. ‌ #faithful
