The Truth About Motherhood

Motherhood.
Where one day…it all shifts in an instant.

I found myself at the pool this morning with my oldest and her friend. They played and played and laughed and loved their time together.

And me? I got to just sit down.
And watch.
What a foreign concept up until this point.

It was this magical feeling of “but what now?! they don’t need me?!” and “holy smokes - this is amazing.”

Our kids are nearly 11, 8, 4 and 2.5. And Dear God - some days, it seems like the hard and the heavy and the screaming and the fighting and the yelling and the worrying and the whining and the complaining and the go go go and the needing me will never. effing. end.

But it will.
It’s already starting to.
Slowly but surely.

Mama of littles - I know you’re in a crazy hard season. Physically, mentally, emotionally. I know it’s overwhelming. I know it’s exhausting. I know some days you don’t want to wake up and do it all again and “be mom.”

But remember - nothing lasts forever. And while the feelings will shift over time and our “hard” will be different as our kids age, what remains is this… ⬇️

Soak it in while you can. ALL of it. 🙏🏻
Because one day…it shifts.
And you’re on to the next season.

As we gear up for back to school and another transition along our journey - I’m sending my deepest love and joy to you and your beautiful family. I see you, Mama. Keep up the incredible work!
