"To the mom who's breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a good mom.

To the mom who's formula feeding: Isn't science amazing? To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough would suffer, but now? Better living through chemistry! You're a good mom.

To the cloth diapering mom: Fluffy bums are the cutest, and so friendly on the bank account. You're a good mom.

To the disposable diapering mom: Damn those things hold a lot, and it's excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry! You're a good mom.

To the mom who stays home: I can imagine it isn't easy doing what you do, but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing. You're a good mom.

To the mom who works: It's wonderful that you're sticking to your career, you're a positive role model for your children in so many ways, it's fantastic. You're a good mom.

To the mom who had to feed her kids from the drive thru all week because you're too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping: You're feeding your kids, and hey, I bet they aren't complaining! Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in a red box with a big yellow M on it. You're a good mom.

To the mom who gave her kids a home-cooked breakfast lunch and dinner for the past week: Excellent! Good nutrition is important, and they're learning to enjoy healthy foods at an early age, a boon for the rest of their lives. You're a good mom.

To the mom with the kids who are sitting quietly and using their manners in the fancy restaurant: Kudos, it takes a lot to maintain order with children in a place where they can't run around. You're a good mom.

To the mom with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle: they always seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds don't they? We've all been through it. You're a good mom.

To the moms who judge other moms for ANY of the above? Glass houses, friend. Glass houses.
🌏 LET'S STOP BEING ANNOYED BY EVERYTHING & START LIFTING EACH OTHER UP! 🌏"

I’d just like to add: to the mom that pours herself a glass of wine or two after a long day, cheers to that 🍷

And to the mom that doesn’t, you’re amazing, don’t know how you do it 🤣

When pushing a sleeping baby in a stroller through the supermarket, my enemies include but are not limited to: other children, friendly shop assistants, shelf packers, rickety trollies and people I know 😑

Lying in the bath, too tired to move, water getting cold, tap too far... if you can read this, please send wine 🍷😴

A little perspective for when you start thinking about all the things you *have to do* as a mom. Acknowledge your abundance 💗

Focusing on ‘getting to’ vs. ‘having to’ made me realize just how lucky I really am.

I can remember these thoughts well...

As a new mom, you don't get much sleep. It's just a fact. Also as a new mom, you will have the mind of a crazy person. Partly because of the sleep factor...

So this is wonderful. Just look at the difference. 💝

Don't you just hate it when you're waiting for mom to make dinner and then you realise you are mom 😫
