Home / motherhood emotions
You should be proud. Proud of the way you mother.
I find myself wishing I could go back in time, to myself when I first became a mom. I'd try my best to tell her, motherhood is a series of rooms.
... and I wouldn't change it for the world.
"There aren't any trophies in motherhood. We're all just doing the best we can, with what we have."
It's so hard to drop your baby off at daycare for the first time, especially after 16 months at home with them.
No one really talks about the redefining moment that happens after you become a parent.
One moment of kindness can make all the difference.
But I'm determined to make the most of it.
The holiday can be difficult for some, and brands are starting to catch on.
Reading stories that center around a new addition can help prepare your little one for the arrival of their new baby brother or sister.
Hugs from my kids make me feel safe, secure and happy
You are seen. You are amazing. You are enough.
Just. Like. That.
Whatever battles you fought this year, you did it—we're almost there
"Am I a 'good mom'?" I've asked myself more times than I can count.
I know I won't forget 2020, but I also want to remember it
There are no words to describe the inexpressible feelings of having a newborn.
At that moment, standing in my cluttered kitchen with crumbs everywhere, dirty dishes, half-full juice boxes and half-eaten apples on every inch of counter space, I was the JLo of dinnertime.
Comments from strangers on the internet made me question myself as a parent...and it really hurt.
You deserve hugs, love, recognition and so much more. But I will settle for the next best thing, which is to write you a little love letter.
