family - Motherly

My mom was always the last one out of the house

Now I know why.

This is not your year to worry about making the holidays "magical."

One word: Boundaries.

I had to learn that sometimes the best thing you can do for the people you love is break all the rules.

The family I created is so different than what I grew up in, and it's perfect for us.

I realized that a mother, no matter her age or the age of her children, always puts her baby first. Always.

Thank you for being there for me, listening to me whine, and loving me no matter what.

Making time for family meals matters—and pays off in big ways.

I decided to get plugged in.

Trust that I want what’s best for my child—just like you did.

The Gaines’ statement is a reminder that all families are operating with the same precious 24 hours.

Why was new parenthood so hard on me and my husband? Because we just didn’t know what we were doing.
