I had a whole list of “I would’s” before I became a mama.
I would never lose my temper.
I would be organized.
I would meal plan.
I would limit screen time.
I would do weekly crafts.
I would wake up early and work out before everyone woke up.
I would juggle my work, passions, and motherhood and of course — nail it.
And then life happened. Quite frankly, motherhood happened.
It broke me. It stripped down my constant strive for perfection and made me realize that I am anything but, perfect.
Motherhood is humbling like that. But, it also taught me something.
