The trouble doll, Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you're on
If it's true
That good fortune gives no chase
We got just what it takes
'Cause I know
Something good this way comes
Some moms seem to have it all together. Like they enter motherhood knowing exactly the kind of mom they want to be and how they want to parent. I'm not sure what's wrong with me but I am still figuring it out. I feel like I HAD an idea of what I wanted to be, but then I saw a culture completely different than the one I grew up in, and there was a lot about it that I liked. Its been a confusing summer figuring out what kind of mom I want to be and how I want to raise my kids. And how I can possibly ever be that person I want to be.
I still haven't quite figured it out but I am a little closer. I've learned a lot about me actually. About what I think is important in life and what I think is NOT important. About how I can't do everything and how I shouldn't. How important it is to feel loved and heard. How the little things in life are the greatest part of life.
Hopefully, something good this way will come and one day my kids know I felt that way by the way I raise them. Hopefully they can know that I wasn't super mom for a reason. So that I could spend time loving them and teaching them about how to live in this crazy world.
Here's a week in the life of us- in photo form.
Those girls are the cutest things in the whole entire world! Plus I think you're a fantastic mom!
ReplyDeleteI think you have this mom thing all figured out Britt! You're amazing and that's all there is to it.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could have gone to the zoo when you guys did... lots funner when there are kids who actually love it. Lucy is still too little :) Love the pics especially the one where they put their faces on the holes for the Ta Da picture. Emme is so happy! ha ha. Your insights on motherhood are good timing... always seems like I read them when I'm feeling similar. Thanks!
