I often get asked...how do you do it? Have the time to keep on creating, posting, blogging, freelance, and be a mom.

I have to be honest. There’s no secret sauce. I just do it. With some organization, planning, and support from others, I do my best to keep going. And even then I still feel all over the place. But I keep believing I can do it, and then I do it. This has been my biggest mindset shift this year. When I felt down and in the shlumps and feeling behind as a new mom, I knew there was a new version of me as a mom and creative...and then kept going.

I wanna hear from other mamas who juggle it all... your passions and motherhood...what was your biggest mindset change in order to keep going? Comment below for some Tip Tuesday’s! #myhonestmotherhood

Do you think you can love being a mom but struggle so hard loving motherhood?

I was asked, “what gives you hope?” and then I broke down to a group of 11 women last week. I told them that all last year as a new and first time mom, I felt so lost, depressed, and guilty for the way I felt. And even though things are better and I got some of my groove back, I’m still not at a place where I can say “I’m great!” - and I SO BADLY want to feel great. I told them I love being a mom, but I didn’t love motherhood. Just saying it out loud, I felt guilty and I broke down. I was embarrassed.

But then something magical happened.

Everyone was so loving on me. And especially the moms in the group told me THEY GET IT. And they too have been there. That it’s NORMAL to feel that way. They reminded me to trust the journey. And with time and as our kids grow up, it’ll get better because we as moms grow too. And that I’ll come to a point where I can say I love motherhood.

And that gave me hope.

As a stay at home mom, I never expected motherhood to be so hard. It’s not even just about being physically tired all the time lol, but to figure out... YOU. As a mom. As an individual. And the “balance” of it all. I didn’t understand what all the moms were saying, until I became one.

So if you’re in the same place, I just want to let you know you’re not alone. It’s okay. It’s normal. Talk to another mama and she’ll get it. We’re rooting for you. ❤️ #sharetheeverymom #myhonestmotherhood

When I first met you, I didn’t think we’d end up together. You looked like a party boy and you danced for the rivalry team *GASP* But look at us now.

10 years together and 1 beautiful daughter. I guess I’m stuck with you now. Happy just another day to my 2 Valentines ❤️ @jeffrey__steven #adelineairi
