Happy Mother's Day, Mama!

Motherhood is hard, and it's easy to feel discouraged at times. "Am I really doing everything right?" "Will my children look back at their childhood and smile?" "I don't know what I'm doing!"

Trust us, we get it. Sometimes the worries are louder than the truth - but we wanted to remind you of what's true today. Here are 5 important truths we all need to be reminded of from time to time:

1. I Am the Best Mother for My Kids

The challenging moments might make you question, but it's always been true and always will be: you are the best mother for your children. You know them deeper than anyone else, and have a deep intuition to know what they need. You, mama, are the most qualified mother for your little ones - even if it doesn't feel like it.

2. I Am Allowed to Have Hard Days

If you find the perfect mother, tell us so we can learn her secrets;) But seriously mom, no mother is perfect - so why feel like you need to be one? You will make mistakes, you will have hard days, and you won't always do the best thing. But if you're the best mother for your children on the best days, you're also the best mother for them on the hardest days.

3. I Am Everything to My Kids

Don't underestimate your impact in your children's lives. They need you, and always will - long after the nursing days or the nap days or even the school days. Everyone needs their mama through every season of life - you are a pillar to your kids.

4. I Am a Good Mother

You'll never be a perfect mother. But you are a good mother - and that is all your kids need. They need you - your love, your support, your hugs, your kisses, your reassuring words. Trust you are exactly enough for your kiddos.

5. I Can Do This. I Was Built to Be Their Mom

Repeat after me mama!! "I can do this." You were built to be their mama, and even on the hardest days, you were built for the challenge. Don't forget: you are capable, strong, and perfect for your kiddos. Live like it!
