To the Mom

Motherhood is hard. Let’s just start there. And part of the reason I started this blog is to be able to connect with other mamas on the ins and outs, highs and lows, beauty and chaos of motherhood. Cause we’re all just out here tryna do our best, right? Sometimes it’s easy to get into the comparison trap thinking other moms have it all together. Because they meal prep better. Maybe their house always looks immaculate. Maybe they are amazing at planning activities for their littles. But the truth of the matter is, no matter what it is that you’re doing, big or small, as long as those babies are loved, fed, and healthy and you are doing the best that YOU can, then mama kudos to you!

This blog was meant for every mama to feel seen, heard, understood, felt compassion for, uplifted through their struggles, praised for their successes, and encouraged through it all.

So, mama - I see you! I promise none of us have it ALL together! Some days, we may. And others… as long as the kids are fed and clean I’m happy! Some days I’m overstimulated and can’t muster up the strength to add one more thing to my plate. The house may be in shambles, they may eat chick-fil-a way too much, there may be five loads of laundry to fold - but I’m doing my best. Being a working mom, managing drop offs and pick ups, activities, birthday parties, tantrums, and more is hard. And I know I’m not alone. And most importantly, I don’t want you to feel alone either.

So, to the mom that feels broken, overworked and overlooked - I see you.

The stay at home mom who just needs a break from her kids - I see you.

The single mama who just wishes she had an extra pair of hands and a day of relief - I see you.

To the mom that is overwhelmed, tired, and frustrated. - I see you.

You will get rest and the sleepless nights don’t last forever.

To the mom that feels like she doesn’t have anything left to give but still keeps giving and giving - I see you. And I pray God replenishes your cup.

To the mom that’s grieving, healing, and trying to restore herself while parenting her babies - I see you.

I see you. I am you. And everyday I’m praying for us mamas because we are the heartbeat of our families. Sometimes - most times - our babies don’t see all we continuously give and endure to keep them happy, safe, and healthy but we do it because they in turn are our heartbeats. They are our joy. So we wake up every single day and grind some more. And even the days we can’t muster up the strength or we feel we are internally breaking - we gotta keep going.

For them.

But know, you are seen. Even when you feel unseen. Undervalued. And don’t have any help. Lean into God even more and I promise He will be that extra source of strength.

So to the mom that just wants to be the best and give the best to her kids (which I’m pretty sure is all of us) - keep going. And this little community I have welcomes you with open arms. To vent, laugh, cry… or just pray through the hard days… here, you’re seen. 💕
