Why Mom Life is Awesome
#MomLife, it is the best, hardest, most interesting, most fun, and most maddening thing I’ve ever done, or will ever do. The highs and lows are extreme. The rocky parts make me question my capacity—not to mention my sanity—but the beauty and wonder and breathtaking views from the peaks are unbeatable.
We live in an era of honesty about parenting, which is awesome. Mommy bloggers have opened the doors to their messy inner worlds, letting us all know we’re not alone in the dark days and huge challenges of motherhood. That transparency is refreshing.
But it can also lure us into a negative mindset if we don’t balance the “parenting is hard” messages with the just-as-true “having kids is amazing” ones.
Take a deep breath, think of all the positive things #MomLife has brought you, and enjoy the little things!
