I’ve been a little MIA from my blog and today I realized it’s mainly because I’ve been living in the moment and absolutely enjoying being a mom. I’ve also returned to work, which is a completely separate blog post that we won’t take the time to focus on right now. I want to take my little magnifying glass and emphasize the fun I’ve been having and the joy I’m currently experiencing by being a mother.

I’m completely in love with my baby. He gives me joy by just looking at him. When he smiles my heart lights up with a bunch of tiny heart bubbles and I start to melt. Seeing him learn and experience new things is an experience I don’t want to end, and luckily for me I know it’s just the gift that’s going to keep on giving.

At this point, almost five months into motherhood, I am happy. Sure, there are times where I am tired (errday), sure there are times where I’m frustrated, and of course there are times when I side eye my husband. But at this current moment, my happiness out ways every single negative that being a mom can come with. I’m embracing this journey, and I’ve made it my own. I don’t worry about other people’s opinions on my parenting style and I surely aren’t letting any mom group judgements hit me.

I feel called to be a mom, and I know God had it in his plan for my life. I will continue to do everything in my power to do the best job that I know how to do, and I want to spread that with the world. Be encouraged when motherhood gets rough, moms. Revel in the ups your baby brings you and bask in the sunshine of their smiles. Hold on to your pockets of happiness and when clouds come, because they will come, pull out the happy videos and adorable pictures you’ve taken of your little one to remind you that cloudy or painful times are only temporary.

Know that you too were called to be a mother, and you’re doing the best that you can. Please stop comparing yourselves to other moms or feeling bad for what you may not be able to do for yours because you’ve seen it on the gram. You got this mama! Hugs, sis 🤗
