Mom Treading Water (The Imperfect Mom)
As imperfect moms, we sometimes try to keep our heads above water. We are the ultimate “Mom Treading Water.” Whether you are a SAHM (stay-at-home mom), a mom who works out of the home, or somewhere in between, we all have challenges, benefits, and experiences. However, what we do share in common is that we are all imperfect moms. As an imperfect mom, wife, and human, I am exposing myself, intending to normalize the sisterhood of imperfect moms. None of us are perfect, no matter what image someone attempts to portray. Mom Treading Water encourages being kind to yourself while discovering your imperfections with compassion. As we learn about ourselves, we become better moms and humans. Thank you for joining me on this imperfect journey. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others.

I consider myself very blessed to be a stay at home mom (SAHM) and if I had to do it again, I would undoubtedly make the exact same choice. However, I was a bit delusional on what it means to be a SAHM.
Both Jackson and Mickey will be in school this year and the consistent question people ask is "What Am I Going To Do?" My number one priority will always be my husband and children, but this question feels like another sign that my identity is solely based on being a mother and wife and any other identity is lost. This is my perspective and my story. I am only speaking for myself.
