Motherhood is a beautiful, chaotic journey filled with love, laughter, and moments that test your patience. It’s okay to take a step back and give yourself grace. Whether you’re dealing with tantrums, endless messes, or unsolicited parenting advice, you are not alone.

It’s okay to get frustrated, it’s okay if you’ve yelled or hid in the closet or miss your life before kids.

We’re only human and you’re doing a great job!

Do you just NEED A MINUTE? I hear you—because, me too! 😅

  • I have an abundance of patience for tantrums especially if I’m running late and have at least twelve more important things I should be doing.
  • I can create the dinner of my dreams and relish every bite, only to have my mini-me demand chicken nuggets instead.
  • I am beautiful—even in that awkwardly timed, surprise photo my child took with my phone yesterday.
  • I deserve this opportunity to enjoy a hot cup of coffee while shamelessly hiding from my offspring.
  • I am unafraid—unafraid of the inevitable meltdown as I casually hint that it might be almost time to possibly consider the idea of going to bed.
  • I am grateful for privacy in the bathroom. Well, maybe not total, 100% “privacy,” but the illusion of something that almost resembles privacy to a small extent.
  • I am capable of great feats of disassociation when strangers offer well-meaning but ultimately useless unsolicited parenting advice.

Motherhood: A Rollercoaster of Emotions

Motherhood is a rollercoaster of emotions! Every new age brings a new phase, making it one of the most challenging roles ever. There are moments of joy, frustration, exhaustion, and overwhelming love—all wrapped up in one chaotic journey.

Every now and then, I say these affirmations to lift my spirit and remind myself that I’m doing an amazing job.

I am a wonderful mother. I am enough for my children. God knew that I was the only one in the whole entire world who had what it takes to be their mother, and that is why He blessed me with my beautiful children.

Even when the mom guilt creeps in, I understand that I cannot pour from an empty cup. That is why I prioritize my peace, my joy, and my happiness—because when I am happy, I inspire my family to be happy as well. I am intentional about raising a family filled with love.

I am beautiful and radiant. I will take care of myself so that I can be the best mother possible. I handle challenges with confidence and grace, trusting that God has equipped me for this journey. No matter what comes my way, I am doing an amazing job.

To every mom reading this—whether you’re raising toddlers, teenagers, or fostering children—you are seen, you are valued, and you are doing an incredible job.

Motherhood is hard, but just hang in there. Know that you are special, and that is why your child came to this world through you. You are exactly the mother they need, and you are doing an amazing job.

Sending you love and light. 💕

Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, and you are never alone.

Repeat these affirmations daily and watch them transform your mindset, helping you overcome any challenge that comes your way.
