imperfect

Remember: Mothers are human, too

Let mom down from the pedestal.

Letting go of perfection helped me be a better mother

We ask so much of ourselves. We ask too much of ourelves.

I tell my kids it’s okay to fail—so I need to start telling myself, too

Maybe if we actually believed the things we say, the entire structures of our lives, vocations, and relationships would feel less tenuous. We'd believe that even if they got knocked down, we could put them back up just the same as before but with the weaker areas reinforced, stronger in the long run.

Letting go of high expectations helped me become a happier mama

Despite what I have gained as a mother, what I let go of in my journey into motherhood is what’s most important.

I can’t ‘have it all’ in this season of motherhood—and that’s okay

I’ve learned to shift my priorities and follow my heart.

I’m the world’s okay-est mom

Because perfect parents don’t exist.
