Mothers all around:

Alright mothers let's be real.. We probably have one of the toughest jobs in the world and others may say different. I really do think being a mother is hard work. Between the bad days, dirty diapers, tiredness tantrums, endless laundry, sloppy messes, restless nights and more we mothers can say it is a hard job to do. 

Lately I've been finding myself frustrated, upset and comparing myself to other mothers. The thoughts run through my head, "I'm not a good mother because I don't do it that way." All this does for me is put me in a runt and fell frustrated.  

I found this quote on the internet and would like to share it:

  

I think this is so true. Lets not compare ourselves to others and try to just compare our growth. 

Everyone does motherhood different and we all can learn from each other. I'm realizing when I ask my friends how or why they do something a certain way, I learn that their way might be easier to do and maybe even better. I love having other mothers I can look up to and relay on for advice. 

I really do love being a Mother! I know I will have rough days and at times it is draining, but I'm so lucky to be a stay-at-home Mom, to raise my children the way I want to and not relay on someone else to do it.

Sunday was a rough day for us. Church was hard because it was in the middle of Olivia's nap time and we stayed the whole time through church. So when we got home I took her out of her car seat and she fell asleep in my arms walking to our apartment. This was so sweet I had to caption it. (It doesn't happen very often.) 

I thank my hardworking husband for providing for us and trusting me to be home to raise our kids. Olivia is such a sweet girl. I love telling her stories, sing her songs, making her laugh, rock her to sleep and watch her grow. 

That said I'm proud to be a Mother!
