I came across a blogger a few weeks ago on my search for finding homeschooling mamas. Charlotte Mason homeschools 5 sweet babes and she wrote a blog about Journaling and all the adventures and community that can await through writing. She challenged moms to take 31 hashtags and just write, no strings attached. Here goes my acceptance to her challenge! Ill link Charlottes blogpost HERE so you can check it out! (Pssttt I highly recommend you do.) Prompt 1 #Parentingadvice Who am I to give parenting advice? I read this meme a while ago that flashes back, like clockwork on a day to day basis, "Behind every amazing kid theres a mom pretty sure she's screwing it all up!" 😂 If that doesn't describe my experience in motherhood to a T I don't know what does! Mom guilt, its a thing and it is real! No one hands over an instruction manual when you've been handed the baton to be, mom. Heres something people may not tell you, many times you will fail. You WILL fall short, you'll disappoint yourself from the standards you've set to achieve. Being mom means feeling overwhelmed, staying up late worrying, being haunted with "I should haves". Its hard work! Definitely not an occupation for the faint of heart, but wait theres more😏😂. You'll be critical, critical of yourself, your looks, your ability, your calling. The Good News is you grabbed that baton and you are still hanging on for dear life! You've made the hardest decision, the challenge to stick around no matter what! You are a fighter! Sure somedays you might just get by, by the skin of your teeth but you have pushed through like the warrior you are! You have fought through the changes in your physical body, and then again, and again! You have fought through depression, baby blues, their first colds, and even those first few moments of mom guilt and you never stopped pushing! Perseverance defined as, a steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc.,especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. You're reading this now, that alone tells me you still have fire in you, a hope set out to be, mom. There is an abundance in knowledge and opportunities and your taking advantage of it. I wish someone would have told me from the beginning, as long as there is always the desire to persevere even through times of difficulty you will succeed, your kids would be exactly, amazing! Your kids are capable of doing great things! People are going to compliment you on how amazing they are, receive those words and use them to fuel your fire, after all their a reflection of you, amazing. <3 Be encouraged future of Elizabeth and every eye that reads this post. xo , Liz
