A good mom

 A good mom can be calm, patient, and full of energy.

She can feel supported and completely fulfilled.
She can love holding her baby all day and still feel like she’s doing it all right.

But a good mom can also feel overwhelmed.
She can want a break.
She can get frustrated and tired and admit that this is hard.
She can miss parts of her life before kids and still love her babies with her whole heart.

Both versions are still good moms.
Because being a good mom doesn’t mean being perfect.
It means showing up.
It means loving your babies even on the days you feel like you’re falling apart.
It means doing your best, even when your best looks different every day.

You are still a good mom, no matter which side of this you see yourself on today.

You always were. You still are. And you always will be.
