Ode to the Mamas

Mamas, you're amazing.

Most days you may feel like you aren't living up to the expectations you've placed on yourself, but I can tell you with utmost certainty, you are far surpassing the expectations of others.

Mamas, we put an insurmountable amount of pressure on ourselves.

Please remember, even if the day doesn't go the way you had planned, even if the house is a mess, or you've yelled at your kids, or you're still in your yoga pants, you're enough.

Mamas, you're more than enough.

You wear many hats:  wife, mom, friend, teacher, nurse, chef, chauffeur, cheerleader, counselor, housecleaner extraordinaire...and you do it well.  You sacrifice sleep, time to yourself, and even a meal here and there to make the world go round for those living under your roof.

Mamas, go ahead.  Give yourself a high five, a pat on the back, toot your horn...you've earned it.

Being a mom is often a thankless job, but if your kids are fed, clothed, thriving, and smiling...you've done your job and you've done it well.

Bravo, mamas.  Bravo.
