On Motherhood

Being a mom has been the source of my truest joy in life...and yet source of so much struggle.  So many tears of joy and tears of frustration!

I fiercely want to be a great mama to my kiddos and I used to beat myself up because I would lose my cool or think that I should be doing more. I thought I was failing.

I finally learned that by giving myself more grace and realizing that I was doing the best I can...I showed up more present and calm and loving.  Funny how that worked..more love and kindness to me equaled more love and kindness to others.  AMAZING!

So to all of you MamaDocs out there that think you aren't doing it right or think that you should be doing better...I offer you to consider that you ARE doing it right...that you ARE the best mama for your kids. It takes work and practice but it is oh so worth it my friends!

I wish you love and laughter on this day....and hopefully at least 5 minutes of peace!!!
