This is a loaded one. First, it’s okay to mourn the loss of “your old self”. I miss the freedom. I miss the ease of traveling. Mostly I miss time ALONE. But.. Let’s not forget to celebrate what motherhood has transformed you into. (It’s okay if no one gets it) ❤️ Tag a mama postpartum!

Lessons from 3 months with THIS babe: Sometimes it’s just not that serious. . Bless you child, that will stop mid meltdown to flash me that gummy smile 🥰

Confession, this post is dedicated to my 3 am self. The boys hit their 4 month sleep regression the same weekend the hubs is traveling. 😭😫 No one to “tap out” to when I was about to loose my cool. I tried to practice gratitude. Use those therapy tools, all those things I preach and what not 😘. Well, f that. It didn’t work. I felt overwhelmed, AND ungrateful since my gratitude didn’t work. But in the light of day... I’m realizing that gratitude can’t be a fix all. You can be grateful for a loved one and grieving. You can be grateful and overwhelmed. . . And grateful and... tired. 😂🥴 . . Anyone with me? Am I making any sense or do I need another cup of coffee?

Don’t get me wrong, I am first in line for all things feminist and women’s empowerment ✊ The “have it all” mentality can easily be internalized as “you have to have it all” and that is the opposite of empowering.. its paralyzing. It’s unrealistic pressure. ❤️it’s okay if you want to stay home and raise babies ❤️it’s okay if you don’t even want babies ❤️it’s okay to not want to be an entrepreneur ❤️ it’s okay to want to be CEO ❤️it’s okay if you would rather not

Lessons from 3 months with this babe of mine: Sometimes it’s just not that complicated

Yesterday south Florida woke up to an Amber alert about a newborn. We are a week away from flying with the boys for the first time and my news is filled with coronavírus. Only to be topped by the story to explain we shouldn’t be worried about coronavírus, the flu is worse. . So on that note, I’m done with the news the next few days. . Here is the thing, we can’t completely control our triggers for anxiety... but there are times we can. If the news triggers you. Don’t watch it. . Can’t preach about it if I can’t be about It. . Adios news 💆‍♀️👋 I’ll catch up with you later
