  • Happy Easter! 🐰🕆💥💖
  • I always thought being a stay-at-home-mom looked really fun and relaxing (PJs all day!), but it’s hard! So much harder than I ever could have imagined. It can be exhausting, physically and mentally, leading to mommy burnout.  We all seem to get to this place at some point. We become the burnt out mom, where we have to wonder how to even keep up anymore.

Remember to go easy on yourself. This won't last forever.
You are doing the best you can and that’s all your children need but you have to take care of yourself as well. I love to clear my head with a hot shower or bath, a book, and @ivorysoap . It's so refreshing to step out of the shower feeling refreshed and ready to take on the rest of the day. You are important. Your family sustains itself and functions because of all that you do all day long. There’s no such thing as Supermom. Just moms that try their best and take it one day, one moment, at a time.  Just remember to breathe in the stressful moments so you can enjoy the beautiful moments.
