I walk through the house and am bombarded by all the things I have to do. Change the bed sheets in Caden’s room, change the bunny’s cage, make sure the kids fed their animals, pick up my room, swap over that load of laundry that’s been sitting there….. the list goes on and on. As a stay at home mom, I don’t ever feel like I can get enough done. On top of the things I see around me that need to be done, I also have children that have to be taken care of and at least half of mine rely on me solely to care for them by changing their diapers, fixing their drinks, and bathing them completely. Even more than all that I run two businesses from home to help bring in income for my family and I’m writing more and more these days. All of these things add to the insane amount of mental load I have to deal with on a day to day basis. Everyone is dealing with things they go through and I don’t think my load is any more than anyone else; I just know that life is tough. I deal with things you don’t and you deal with things I don’t. Recently I’ve deal with a lot of loss. I lost 3 family members in the past few months and have felt like the loss just continues on.
I know so many of you feel like this. You may be walking through life simply going through the motions. You may feel like you can’t continue. You look around you and the things that have to be done just continue to pile on. But I am here to tell you that you will continue on. You will grow past the loss. You will find purpose again. You will figure it all out.
My hope for this blog is that it is a place of encouragement, a place for hope, and a place you can be motivated and empowered to have a metamorphosis in your life as a mother. You are here for a reason and you are worthy.
