Self-care sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Since your new mom days, you were always told to sleep when the baby sleeps. That kind of seems impossible, right? How the heck am I supposed to get the house up to par if I’m always napping?
If the majority of the house care and childcare is your responsibility, then you start to realize you have a choice. Well, 2 choices…
To all the moms feeling inadequate,
You feel like you’ll never win. You can never make everyone happy, keep the house clean, or you forget to do something from time to time. You’re only one person. And you’re very overwhelmed. Sometimes to the point of tears.
You’ll debate with yourself. “Why can’t I be as good as other moms?” Or “My family’s and my house’s needs are more important than me.” “I don’t deserve ____ if I can’t get anything done first.” (Even after doing said thing all day).

Friends, if there’s one thing that really needs sharing, it’s this.
It’s normal to dive head first into the sea of motherhood unknowingly. It’s an exciting new adventure that you get lost in. You overcome a lot of tribulations in this underwater journey.

As a mom of three, people often laugh that my boys keep me on my toes. But no, seriously, that’s an understatement. And like any mom, I get really mentally and emotionally burnt out.

Hey to all of my new followers,
Thank you so much for following me! Here’s a bit about me:
My name is Anna.
My dreams in my teenager years were to be a photographer and travel. My first real job was as a little league photographer. Several other photography jobs later and I was working in productions in a studio. I had no idea what was ahead of me.
I really wanted to share this post because it’s exactly why I started blogging. I had a rough year that changed my life. I was so impacted because I was minding my own business, doing ok. Then life just happened. I did nothing to deserve any of it.
Momma,
Your job is a hard one. It has been a hard job for all mothers, for all of time!
Our shift is 24/7 with no sick days. We’re on call in the middle of the night and early mornings. Our brains run at super speeds. All. The. Time.
We face challenges that leave us feeling helpless and out of control. And then we continue to blame ourselves for still not doing a good enough job.
Life is overwhelming no matter how much you seem to accomplish. Do you feel this way?
