I may not be a perfect Mom, but I’m totally real.
Besides which, perfection is overrated.
Yet I still struggle with this a lot.
Burdened by the guilt that I’ve let them down.
Taken away a piece of their childhood.
A part of their innocence.
They see me at my worst.
Vulnerable. Defeated. Broken.
My kids don’t have a perfect Mom, no matter how hard I try.
And I do try.
They just have me.
Their loudest cheerleader.
Their strongest advocate.
Their biggest ally.
Kids don’t need a perfect Mom, though.
They just need a real one.
Yet knowing this, I’m still left burdened by the guilt that I’ve let them down.
Taken away a piece of their childhood.
A part of their innocence.
But making real memories.
Lasting memories.
Celebrated memories.
It’s the real moments.
The lasting moments.
The celebrated moments.
It’s those moments, by far, that are the most perfectly imperfect Mom moments of all.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the perfectly imperfect Mamas’ 💗

Amen to this! I am also not at the “perfect” mother as well. There is no such thing as a perfect mother. We all make mistakes. Lord knows I’ve made enough mistakes to go around. But what matters is the constant Love, acceptance, guidance, wisdom, and advice you give and show your kids. Those are the most beautiful qualities to instill in your kids. A Mothers priceless gift. 💕 Happy Mother’s Day 🎁
