DARN GOOD MAMA

I’ve tried a lot of different themes for my blog- style, lifestyle, activities, weddings & interior design – but nothing felt completely right to me. Recently I have been seeing so many mamas share their stories and their struggles to their social media community and it has really impacted me. When I had my daughter there were so many unknowns and as a worrier and anxious person in general those unknowns and fears often became overwhelming for me, and for some reason I had this notion in my head that I should be able to figure it all out on my own.

To all the mamas having a good day or a rough day you are doing an amazing job and I see you (we as a community of mamas see you).

I hope to make this blog transform into a place where I can share my stories and the stories of other mamas for someone out there like me who could have used more stories to relate to, someone to make them feel more normal and maybe even give them a good laugh when that’s what they needed most.

So to start it off a little bit about me:

I’m an anxious mama. I’ve always been an anxious person but once I became a mama the anxieties sprung up everywhere. “Was that right? Should I have done it different? What if I’m missing something? Is she okay? You’re not doing enough. You’re doing too much.” I would obsess and dwell over things that were out of my control and spin stories in my head so that I would worry about things that weren’t real. Eventually I would work through it, and then the guilt would kick in. Guilt that my anxieties were taking me away from being present in the moment with my baby who wanted nothing but me. With all the doubt, uncertainty and fear happening around us right now it’s been hard not to become crippled by anxiety. It has helped me to take a step back and genuinely look at my intentions. Am I doing the best I can in that moment? With an emphasis on THAT moment because “best in that moment” does not equal “my best moment”… I’m not perfect. I still let my anxieties get the best of me, but I’m learning to be kinder to myself.
