Good morning all of you sweet souls. We made it to Tuesday! I am still tired as ever, because why would I go to sleep when my kids do?? I mean it was imperative that I finish the Gossip Girl series ๐. I totally forgot how that show ended. Anyway back to some more important things…
Today I’m talking to all you mamas out there. Whether you are working, staying at home with your sweet babes, sending them off to school (not now, hello summer)! I’m talking to you! When I became a mother 4 years ago, how it’s been that long is beyond me, I feel like I lost my identity. Things shift. Priorities change. My entire world began to revolve around my sweet baby boy!
Fast forward 15 months and now I have two tiny humans I give 100% of myself to! Life with my babies is and always has been such a blessing and a gift. But where do I fit in the time to focus on me? I don’t want to sound selfish or careless, but really how important is it to fit a shower in today? I mean I’m risking Mia’s life to shower… She likes to escape right out the front door, daily! ๐ Don’t worry I make it work and shower MOST of the days Jules is gone.
One of the biggest things for me since I became a mom, is not feeling like I am an active member of the rest of the world. I mean I take care of Jax and Mia every single day. I am definitely not discrediting that AT ALL. For me it feels like the judgement of the rest of the world is looking at me like well what else do you do? Oh you are just a Stay at Home Mom….? Yes I am. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!!
Some days I feel like posting a live cam of what my day entails. But then I stop and think, no, I don’t need to do that. I don’t need anyone to know or understand what my daily life looks like, because this is my life. Would it make some days a bit easier? Yes. Would my confidence get a nice little boost every now and then? You bet ya. But what am I really living my life for. What matters most is that my little family is happy and healthy and thriving. And we are.
I am not writing this for any kudos, or pats on the back. I am sure there are some of you out there feeling the same way. I feel like I always go back to this one simple thing. Be kind to one another. Pause for a bit before you decide to ‘judge’ or make assumptions about someone’s life. You really have no idea what makes up their everyday. Let’s just come together as human beings and love each other. Let’s create a world full of confident strong people.
Well that concludes my Tuesday of rambling ๐ If you made it this far, you did it! Thank you all for following along with my blog and supporting my little passion!! I hope you all enjoy this beautiful day we have been given!!
XO,
Corrine Monique
