I will admit I am an extremist by nature, so when it comes to being a mother I focus every thought and moment to "mothering". I am a prime example of a helicopter mom, if you aren't one yourself you know someone who is. I have been running myself ragged trying to be the perfect mom. Then lay awake at night still feeling like in some way I have failed.
This self doubt was draining me. I was always struggling to do more, even though my plate was already full. More playdates, more one-on-one time with the kids, more gourmet meals (that the kids would never eat), more organized home, more and more. This left me with less and less. Less time for anything that didn't completely revolve around my kids. When I did finally take time for myself I always felt guilty, but why? Mothers should never feel guilty taking time to recharge...
I work so hard to teach my children to be themselves, but how do I teach them something I am not even sure of myself? So hear I am on this crazy journey to finding myself, and one thing I have found is that I have a lot to share. So let's get started...
*Disclaimer not everything I share will be of interest to everyone. If you find yourself reading through a post and you think to yourself "wow she really is just talking out loud right now" feel free to skip it. I understand that all the things that appeal to me, won't always appeal to you. That is ok, it's things like that make us who we are💕
