I Did Everything “Right” As a New Mom — And I Was Miserable When I got pregnant with my twins, I had one mission: I was going to do motherhood the "right" way. I didn’t exactly know what that meant, but I had a picture in my mind—a blend of natural, wholesome, Pinterest-worthy parenting. And I went all in. I breastfed. I made every ounce of their baby food from scratch. I concocted some homemade baby wipes and mixed up my own diaper rash cream. I brewed kombucha and baked sourdough. I cultured yogurt. I even made my own makeup, shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant.

As moms, we often feel the pressure to do everything perfectly. But at what cost? Don't let the fear of failure rob you of the joy of being present with your children. #MomGuiltNoMore #PrioritizeJoy #PresentMom #MomAimingforBalance

I’m in my “remodel” era. I’m the drawer that sticks, the cabinet that squeaks, the pantry that almost closes. But I’m growing—and someone out there neeed to see that it’s okay to be the before.
