Last night, Riley woke at 21:30, 00:13, 02:18, 04:31, 05:55 and 07:01. After a night like that, I honestly felt like doing absolutely nothing today. 🥲 But motherhood doesn’t exactly come with a pause button. I washed nappies, invoiced a client, created social media content for another client, replied to work emails, took Riley to baby class, did a 5km walk and cooked dinners in bulk for the entire week. All while looking after Riley. And somehow, I still have a little voice in my head telling me I haven’t done enough. Why do we do that to ourselves? Why do we measure our days by the things we didn’t get done instead of acknowledging everything we managed to do while running on broken sleep? I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only mom who feels this way. Sometimes we need to see another mom’s day and realise just how much we’re all carrying. So if today was a survival day for you, if the washing is still waiting, if dinner was toast, or if all you managed was to love your baby and get through the day… That counts, too. 🤍 And if you’re reading this tonight, I hope you give yourself a little credit for everything you did today. What’s something you got done today that deserves more credit than you’re giving yourself? 🫶 #momlife #motherhood #momcommunity - @meg.beacon
