It’s okay to want more mama, and it’s okay to not □ 3 small things that help me feel like I have an identity outside of Motherhood: 1️⃣ Using a daily habit tracker □□ using a habit tracker and placing it somewhere that I will see you every day helps remind me of my own personal goals, and is a quick visual motivator because I can see the progress I’ve already made each month. Share with a mom who needs this reminder□ #momlife Time will pass, but you’ll be able to say you saw it, you lived it, and you soaked it all in. So don’t let the internet scare you into thinking your running out of time with your kids. It doesn’t mean you aren’t soaking it in when your day was hard or when you feel so exhausted at the end of it. Also know that the hard struggle is apart of it. Being more present, and making this time special. But for now while they are little, just know you’re doing enough. We don’t only have 5 years or 18 summers with them. Motherhood doesn’t end when they get big. Trust that the bonds you are making now are real and will continue to strengthen as they get older.

Even when I spend my days feeling like I played, I was present and engaged, I planned activities and adventures, etc. Instead of a gentle reminder or small motivator that felt encouraging. ![]() □□ But as the social media space has grown, and with it the overwhelming amount of “they’re only young once” content has too and the meaning has started to shift for me. You know, when I first started seeing the “they’re only young once” type of mom content, I smiled and nodded along with it seeing it as a good reminder of what my priorities are as a mom.
