I am their mother—totally, wholly and entirely. It is my proudest role. But that is not all I am.
Every single mother I know is figuring it out as she goes, making it work along the way.
1. Be honest about what’s *actually* fun for you.
My work can wait. My kids are in good hands. My routine will be there waiting for me when I get back.
In this full life, I choose to be very careful with what takes up my time.
An expecting mama realized that pregnancy was the perfect time for self-care.
2. Keep tops and bottoms that mix and match.
Claim your beauty—so that your daughter can confidently claim hers, too.
I have to be willing to give up who I am to become who I want to be.
1. Accept trade-offs as inevitable
The bullet train of my life was speeding ahead, and I wasn’t on it.
Motherhood makes us stronger, therefore that comeback will be full of strength, passion and beauty.
“I am confident and growing in my parenting role.”
We need rituals—they give us rhythm, meaning and reminders of purpose.
When I became pregnant, I finally was able to see food as purposeful.
All we really need is a system and a place for each type of paper. ?
