Green beans. Oh how I hated them as a kid. They were one of two vegetables that I just detested. Green beans slathered in ketchup, however, were tolerable. And so…

Want to take some of the worry out of parenting?⁣
⁣
Heck yah, who doesn't?!⁣
⁣
Parenting is freaking hard. Enjoyable and fulfilling, but hard. And it should be defined for exactly what it is, “the anxious joy and adventure of keeping another human happy and alive.” ⁣
⁣
We love the heck out of our kids so of course we're going to worry. It's natural.⁣
⁣
But what if we could let go of some of that angst, some of that stress, and some of the unnecessary worry so we can enjoy our kids more and be better moms?⁣
⁣
I tackled that very question in today's post. Link in bio.

Dear mom who is feeling anything less than amazing

Dear mom who is feeling anything less than amazing, let me tell you that YOU ARE ENOUGH.⁣
⁣
Your emotions do not define you. Your heart does.⁣
⁣
Stop trying to live up to everyone else's expectations and see yourself as the beautiful person you are.⁣
⁣
Realize that you were created to be perfectly imperfect. ⁣
⁣
Give yourself grace. Take time to breathe. Count your blessings. Spend time with God and allow him to fill you with his truth.⁣
⁣
And know that to your kids, you are the world. You are the best. ⁣
⁣
YOU ARE AMAZING!

It’s okay to feel frustrated during the holidays

It’s okay to feel frustrated during the holidays. It’s okay to not always be jolly.⁣
⁣
Family expectations.⁣
Budget constraints.⁣
Finding the “perfect” gift.⁣
Wrapping.⁣
In-laws.⁣
Battling past holiday hurts.⁣
Dealing with annoying uncles.⁣
Figuring out how to navigate Christmas + COVID.⁣
⁣
It all adds up. It can cause anxiety, anger, self-doubt, and even depression.⁣
⁣
We try and mask the stress, the overwhelm, and the frustration with a smile so that others can’t see that raw emotion.⁣
⁣
But my friend, let me tell you... it’s okay.⁣
⁣
We’ve all been there. Many of us are feeling it now. ⁣
⁣
You are not a bad person or a bad parent for feeling anxious and frustrated. You are human. You are real. ⁣
⁣
So what if we allowed realness to bond us together, to create conversations, to reveal your passion and your soul?⁣
⁣
What if instead of worrying about spoiling your kids with presents on a tight budget... we use this as an opportunity to teach our children about money management and stewardship? ⁣
⁣
What if instead of buying presents, you realize that the togetherness of crafting or baking or playing games is a priceless gift that could lead to new traditions?⁣
⁣
What if instead of the anxiety of how your in-laws will judge you or unmet family expectations making you feel guilty... you find things throughout the day to be grateful for? ⁣
⁣
Or use those feelings to open up to the ones that are a challenge for you with a conversation starter like, “It has always been hard for me to feel comfortable in settings where I don’t necessarily feel like I fit in. I am trying to work on that and I really do appreciate your hospitality.”⁣
⁣
It is okay to not be okay. But don’t allow the busyness or your anxiety to prevent you from enjoying the real meaning of Christmas.⁣
⁣

“How do I look?” I asked my 8-year old as I wa

“How do I look?” I asked my 8-year old as I was headed out the door.⁣
⁣
“You look like a blogger,” he replied.⁣
⁣
“Oh really? Is this what we all look like?”⁣
⁣
Since I laughed at his response, the little guy thought he was pretty funny. Giggling he said, “Yup!” ⁣
⁣
But it made me think about how we view other people. ⁣
⁣
Do we see them based on their job, their career, their roles?⁣
⁣
Do we judge them by what they wear?⁣
⁣
Or do we look deeper and see their soul, the person underneath? ⁣
⁣
I am even guilty of not looking “deeper” at my own children or at my hubby.⁣
⁣
Imagine how it would change their life if we did take the time to know the deep and see the deep of each person we encounter.⁣
⁣
Imagine how it would change your life.⁣
