5 Ways To Take Care of YOU

Since becoming a mother, I’ve learned I am dead dog last on the priority list of people. I secretly day dream of someone in my immediate or extended family noticing this. After taking notice they extend an offer to let up on their demands or let me escape to take care of me. Then reality hits, I wake up and I remember the cold, hard truth. They don’t. They won’t. I need to take care of me! So my darling friend if you find yourself in the same place, here are my top five survival skills.

{comparing & complaining}

And I can no longer stand for the Mommy woes. I can only tell you that if you are one, make the most of it. Rest when you can. Lift up other Mamas when you can. Invest in your children. Take breaks when you need to. But STOP COMPLAINING about them and your role. There is power in the who they are now and the who they will become. And you have a hand in that.
