As mothers, it’s normal to question whether or not you’re doing it right. After all, motherhood is so. darn. hard. Which is why it’s important to know, you are an amazing mom. While we always encourage mothers to not compare themselves to others, the reality is, we all do it. We all look at the …
One of the first things I noticed when I ventured into this realm of motherhood is that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I was firmly on the side of ‘when you become a mother, you’ll know’ because that’s what I’d heard over and over again. Looking back I find it kind …
