To The Mothers Who DON'T Have it All Together!

Thank You For Your Imperfection

To The Mothers Who DON'T Have it All Together!

This is dedicated to all the mothers who feel they just can't get their stuff together. Whether being a single mother, one with a disability, a very hectic job, struggling with inner demons or anything else. I just want to remind you and encourage you to keep pressing, keep pushing and keep loving because your kids love you, in spite of you.

Along with being a product of a single parent household, I have read many posts, blogs and watched many videos lately (one I will post below) about how mothers are feeling inadequate.

So I write this letter to the mothers who don't have it all together.

Dear you,

We have heard you cry, doubt yourself about how you raise us, but we want you to know we love you. See, we understand that you may not feel you have it together but let us reassure you, we don't care. Nobody does, no one is perfect and even God says perfection has limitations, so thank you for not being perfect. Thank you for showing us realness, for making mistakes and realizing it is okay. Thank you for showing us how life happens and thank you for showing us its okay to be who we are. You do not only clothe us, feed us and provide shelter. Oh, no, you love us far beyond measure, a love God himself handcrafted as we formed in your belly. You are timeless, gentle yet possess the power to destroy anything and anyone who dares hurt us. Please stop doubting yourself, because we know you are doing the best you can with what you can. We know sometimes we don't make things easier but thank you for never giving up on us and being the pillar of our home. Without you we probably wouldn't even know how to tie our shoes (lol), just to say you make a bigger impact than you think. So please remember when you are feeling you are failing as our mom, you will always be our superwoman.

Sincerely,

The Kids

With this, I just want to say thank you to all the imperfect mothers, you women are amazingly strong. Without you, a lot of us would not be who we are today. Thank you for being you.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
