the second her eyes open in the morning to baby shark blasting on max volume & still running on that granola bar by the time everyone’s finally in bed for the night (🤞🏻)

You aren’t alone...Even though it feels that way.

Even though you feel judged for being on your phone a little too much…

Or not giving your kids “enough” attention.

Even if a lot of that judgment is coming from your own head...I see you. I see the effort you put in every single day.

I see how hard you’re trying to be a good mom….And tbh, to simultaneously be a good dad.

You’re wearing all the hats right now and when the iPad keeps dying but they just won’t👏🏻let👏🏻it👏🏻charge….

It’s easy to stop wanting to give a fork altogether.

Especially when you feel like no matter how hard you try it’s still not enough. But I want you to know that it is.

You remember the appointments & grocery store requests. A day out together has you packing a bag like you’re abouta be stranded in the Sahara.🐪

Whether or not anyone appreciates it, you’re still showing up. And it counts.

Every step you’re taking right now is bringing you closer to the future you’ve been dreaming about. It’s all adding up, and it’s so worth it. The long days and even longer nights, the mistakes that have you starting all over again, the rejections and judgy embarrassing moments where you feel like you’re pretending to be someone you’re not…

You’ll get through it and it’s going to make you even stronger when you get to the other side because you ARE getting to the other side.

You’ll have that house with the huge backyard, showroom worthy kitchen & dream closet. You’ll have the proud moments when they go “omg how did she do that?!” You’ll have the routines and boundaries that make you feel sane again.

And not too long from now, you’ll remember this moment, and be so thankful that you stayed the course. That you kept moving forward, despite everything that tried to push you back. And because of that determination...

You finally made it.

I promise -

You’ll have it all. All you have to do is keep going.

💛
