its okay if you had a 💩 day as a mom

we live in a society that tells moms we're not allowed to have bad days and its not cool! and it's not REAL!! Motherhood is amazing, the light of my life, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have hard days. So if you're a mom having a 💩 day, just know that me and so many others have been in that same position and we are with you 🫶🏼

... Read moreMotherhood is often portrayed as a blissful experience, but the reality is far more complex. Many mothers face challenging days filled with exhaustion, stress, and emotional struggles. It’s important to acknowledge these feelings rather than suppress them. According to various parenting experts, recognizing that it’s okay to have off days allows mothers to cultivate more authentic relationships with themselves and their families. Community support plays a crucial role in overcoming these tough times. Connecting with fellow moms through online forums or local support groups can provide shared experiences and coping strategies that can alleviate feelings of isolation. Whether it's sharing parenting tips or just venting frustrations, these interactions can foster resilience and understanding. Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as crucial as caring for your children. Prioritize moments of self-care, whether by setting aside a few minutes for yourself each day or seeking professional help when needed. Embrace the idea that perfection in parenting is a myth, and allow yourself the grace to feel what you need to feel.

what i wish i knew when i was a new mom
1. You will sleep again. You won’t always be tired. This is just a phase. One day your child will start sleeping through the night and you’ll forget all about how rough it is waking up in the middle of the night. I felt like I would never sleep again when I had my son. And I’m a girl who loves her

What I’ve Learned As a 26 Year Old MomTurning 27
• it’s never too early or too late to do what is meaningful to you • getting enough sleep / time for yourself isn’t selfish, it makes you a better mom for your baby • it’s okay if your husband does more of the “mom” things, parenting tasks shouldn’t be geared towards one gender or the other
