You expect so much of yourself.
But it’s hard to be responsible for an entire person who didn’t come with a manual.
And just when you get a handle on one stage, your kiddo leaps into the next one…
…while making their loudest mistakes in church (or in front of your mother-in-law).
Of course you look forward to collapsing on your pillow, but you also dread the mental replay of what you should have done better. Whether you are in diapering chaos or navigating tween eye rolls, being a parent is a serious calling. But I believe we can inch towards not being so serious.
Pull up a chair if you wonder if you’re doing enough as a parent. And lean into this space where we share mess-ups and cartwheel for wins.
Where we choose grace over guilt and progress over perfection.
