Live Life Fully: Motherhood - Inspirations of revelations collaborated into ...breakthrough (big sigh)

Topic: Motherhood...seems fitting for the month right? Well when being a stay at home mom is your full time job. Mothers Day isn't the only day I call my mom to say thank you, need advice, or just venting in general.

Lately I've been meditating on the reality of motherhood. I recently saw a friend post about her reality of motherhood and her recent breakthrough and I was so inspired to share my own latest breakthrough. I couldn't have said it better. Basically all these pretty pictures with our pretty clothes and pretty homes on Fb, instagram, pinterest bloggers you name it. We're so quick to post all our lovely pictures with pretty things and moments when our children our being so cute, and for the most part it's inspiring to most of us. Don't get me wrong I love it all. Thats not what this is about. This is about falling into the pressure of keeping up or over self evaluating. I'm almost positive we're all guilty of it. I think we can easily start to focus on the the pretty "perfect" things we see or read and then quickly evaluate our own children, lives, homes, kitchens etc (im ~~guilty~~ beyond guilty of this)

Well heres my point quick and simple...theres no such thing. There is no ''perfect'' mother with perfect well-behaved children with always clean kitchens and dinner done at 5 with the perfect husband and always wearing ''pinterest'' ready clothes : )
So, my dear friend pick up your coffee, look at yourself in the mirror and know that you were destined and chosen by a HOLY God to raise those babies. You were created with something only you can offer them. I challenge you to ask Him what that is and run with it. Hug your babies, appreciate your man, and the little time he does get to join in and smile because your doing an awesome job. After the second kid your gonna watch time slip right through your fingers. I am nowhere near done and learning as I go. Gleaning from mothers who inspire me.

My breakthrough perspectives:
My kitchen is suppose to look like it fed a herd of kids and a happy husband.
My house is suppose to look like children live and play here.
I love vintage always have but I live in 2013 no matter how badly I wish i was still in the 50's : )
20's years from now my kids are not going to remember how well and sparkly my toilets are but they will remember my attitude or if i played with them.
I am not against cleaning...trust me I'm super anal about everything but there is a healthy balance and the freedom to relax once in a while (even though your sink is competing w/everest)

This post is for the mother who needs encouragement. This post is for me accepting the everyday life of MOTHERHOOD. This is for the mother who just needs to hear '' Good job friend''!
