Wrote This Months Ago, I Almost Didn’t Post This- But Every Mom Needs to Read This! 💛

Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while since you’ve seen a blog post from me, and I’m really sorry for the silence. Well, you know—life has been life-ing! But I’m so excited for 2025 and ready to jump back into sharing more with you all. I came across this blog post from last year, and even though it’s been sitting in my archive for a while, I felt it was too important not to share. I’m glad I’m able to finally post it, because this was truly how my December unfolded, and I know many of you can relate. So here it is, straight from my heart. I hope it resonates with you as much as it did with me when I wrote it. It’s never too late to share our journey, right?

As December rolled in, I found myself reflecting on my first holiday season without being pregnant. I had plans for the month, but motherhood humbled me. With no help around, I was juggling work, baby care, motherhood, and all the household duties. The festive season, usually a time of fun for me, turned into a period of stress and exhaustion.

I felt overwhelmed, with thoughts racing through my mind. It was during this chaotic time that I stumbled upon a post in a mom group about motherhood. The comments on that post were heartbreaking, with so many moms sharing their regrets about how motherhood had held them back from pursuing their dreams and how it made them neglect self-care. Reading through the comments, I was saddened to see so many moms feeling the same way. It made me realize that I didn’t want to look back and feel regret for not enjoying the journey.

So, I made a conscious decision to shift my perspective. Despite the stress, I promised myself to be intentional about self-care. I reminded myself that it’s okay to accept things as they are and to prioritize my own well-being. I wouldn’t stop enjoying my hobbies and passions while being a mom. Life may be busy, but I learned that taking care of myself is crucial for my happiness and for being the best version of myself for my family. I realized that overwhelming days would come, but it’s important not to dwell in that space and find moments of joy.

As I step into 2025, I’m determined to take things slow and steady. I am going to achieve all the goals I set and create beautiful family traditions. I’m ready to embrace the challenges of motherhood while also nurturing my own dreams. Here’s to a new year filled with balance, joy, and a commitment to not lose myself in the process!

So, in this journey of motherhood, it’s a beautifully challenging ride, right? It’s super important for us as moms to find that balance. As we navigate through the ups and downs, let’s focus on creating those warm, loving environments for our families while also taking care of ourselves. I really want us moms to come together, embrace the chaos, and support each other. Let’s make 2025 a year where we grow, find joy, and feel fulfilled, both as moms and as women!
