Mom Life

Wow, motherhood, how do you describe it? How do you put into words all that goes into this title, this lifestyle? I could go on about it completely changing your life. I could talk about the unconditional love you develop for your children, a love you never knew you could feel. I could tell you about the deep sense of purpose you discover when you transition into this new role. Amongst all that I will tell you that nothing prepares you for it. Nothing you read, no classes you take, no amount of mental preparation can truly equip you for this journey you are about to embark on. It is nothing like you have ever done before, and it is the most important role you will ever play.
       So what do you do when you find yourself facing motherhood head on? Just that. YOU face it head on. YOU trust YOUR instincts on what is best for you and your child/children. This journey of motherhood is yours. Live it, love it and own it. Find strength in knowing that your mother did it, and your mother before her, and so on. YOU can do it too.
       So this is motherhood, unfiltered and beautiful in it's own unique and messy way. Some days are full of blessings and joyful moments, others are down right stressful and challenging, but they all come together to make something perfectly imperfect. That is motherhood unfiltered, unedited and undeniably beautiful.
