With all of the cool ideas out there on the blogosphere and pinterest, it's easy to feel like you're not enough.
Not crafty enough
Not clean enough
Not organized enough
Not doing enough with your kids
Not teaching them enough
Not creating enough
Not ... You get where I'm going, right?
I was having a bit of a hard time not feeling good enough when I realized- I need to give myself a break. I'm not super mom and you know what? That's okay.
I will never be the one who has an immaculate house all the time. I will not be the one who does her dishes right away. I will not be the one who is completely organized. There will be days when I decide on what's for dinner a half hour after I should have started it. There will be days that I have a hard time getting out of my pajama's.
There will be days that I will be glad they are over because I didn't have much energy for playing. And there will be days that I waste too much time looking for things to do instead of just doing something- anything!
But I'm not beating myself up for it anymore.
I'm not supermom.
I am a mother who does the best she can. :)

So glad to know I'm not the only one who feels like this. Particularly with the doing stuff with Adrian; I see all these fun activities on Pinterest and think I must be the lousiest mom because we very rarely do anything like that. Buuut, I have a healthy happy kid so I must be doing something right.
glad you're back and happy to hear that you are embracing imperfection as well! and Congratulations!
