The Perfect Mother’s Day

Well, today is the day. The day every mom waits for all year long. Okay, maybe not all year long, but when you’re mom and it seems as though you wait hand and foot on everyone else in your home 24/7, you tend to look forward to a day that’s all about you. But how true is that statement? I mean, think about it.

You’re pregnant… sleep insomnia.

You have a newborn… yeah, you’re probably not getting that afternoon nap.

You have toddlers… maybe they’ll take a nap. Maybe not.

And the list goes on. But let’s take a step back and think about this for a second. At the end of the day, what actually makes for a “perfect” Mother’s Day?

Hear me out… I’m always down for a good afternoon nap. A pedicure. A massage. A new handbag or a pair of shoes. But is that what makes a day all about mom perfect? It’s not. It’s those babies. Day in. Day out. Every. Single. Time. It’s those babies. Go snuggle them up on the couch or color a picture with them. Whatever your child loves to do the most, be a part of that with them today. They won’t be this small for long. Time is a thief.

You do so much, mama. You really do. And you deserve to be celebrated for it over and over again. You’re the best of the best. The real MVP. Many will even say that mom is the glue that holds everything together. And I would agree, that’s true. And that’s you. You don’t have to wait for Mother’s Day each year to feel seen or heard. You shouldn’t be recognized or acknowledged just one day out of 365. You’re celebrated 365. If by no one else, it’s me. I’m rooting for you. I’m cheering you on. I’m in your corner.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mama. You deserve the world.
