It’s Okay Mom

It’s okay to not be okay. You’re a mom it’s one of the hardest switches you’ll ever make. Nothing is about you anymore and you feel run down and like you’re not doing anything right. Parenting unfortunately doesn’t come with a ‘How To’ book. As long as you can look at your children and feel that heart warming explosion of love, then you are doing everything right. When they run to you with that heart warming smile and crawl on your lap even though they only sit they for five seconds, in your mind its the best five seconds of the day then you’re doing just fine. Sit back and breathe. Let the dishes sit, let your husband make dinner and just take in everything your kids have to offer you. Bask in the innocent joy of them playing cars on the rug giggling their hearts out. Let them make a mess in the tub while you are both laughing splashing each other and clean it up later. Cherish every little messy moment because no mom will ever be the perfect mom, but we are perfect in our children’s eyes. It’s okay to stray off schedule and let things go incomplete.
