6-Month Hiatus

For those of you who know me well, 6 months of silence is quiet out of character. I’ve learned a few things this year that I believe are worth sharing. Being a mom is a privilege, but to call it a "hard job" would also be an understatement. Not due to the lack of sleep and constant change in our children, but the inner insecurity that nags at us all. The feeling like no matter how happy our family is, or how clean our house is…we still feel like we aren’t doing a good enough job. Its something I’ve struggled with, and from those of you I’ve talked to, I’m not alone.

Today I spent the day home with my sweet baby Lincoln, who woke up with a slight fever, and now is sleeping soundly and feeling much better. I am so thankful for this day, just your average Thursday and yes, I have a mountain of laundry that has overgrown my sofa now begging to be folded. But I don’t care.

A good friend of mine once said, sometimes its ok to just…be….still. She shared when her kids were little she would feel the needed to constantly doing something…cooking, cleaning, working out etc. It’s a wonder most of us go to bed at 9pm exhausted, still making to-do lists in our head as we fall asleep.  So I say this to you amazing mothers out there, and to myself. Your best is amazing, and tomorrow rather than being your own worst critic…..lets try to be a cheerleader instead.

Missed you guys, happy to be back.
