My Most Privileged Role

Our Mother’s Day was very low key mainly due to COVID, but honestly, that’s moreso my style. I’m not at the age of “motherhood” where I want to be left alone on that day (sleeping in, breaks from kids, etc). I just like to feel appreciated and maybe change like a couple less diapers that day. ❤

Ben brought home two flowers for me, a card (that’s our thing), and a HUGE bag of Reese’s that I eventually had to hide from myself! 🤣

There’s a reason why you hear “You’re going to miss this” when you become a parent. I will forever want to go back to yesterday, 10 months ago, heck even to the day I gave birth. But, I also get excited for Waylin’s future and the adventures we have yet to conquer. Because I straddle those two realities, the compromise is to simply appreciate every single moment as they come. 

Motherhood is the most privileged role I have ever had. I’m the fun parent. I’m the parent that does the most parenting. I’m too hard on myself. I smell the roses. I don’t fold my laundry for 4-5 business days after it’s washed. I worry I’m not doing enough. We are all just doing the best we can, and I think that’s perfect. 

Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing super mamas! I see your cape flying behind you! ❤
