I’ll be honest. For weeks I’ve had something totally different planned for a Mother’s Day post. But today, I woke up with something strong on my heart that I needed to share.
Most people don’t know this, but both of our girls are rainbow babies. They each came after losses, and I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t grieve properly.

Disclaimer: I honestly have no idea what I'm doing as a parent. My daughter is almost two, and I'm literally winging it.

Being a mom is hard. Being a first time mom is SO HARD. This has been heavy on my heart lately... and I just want to say: To the first time moms out there struggling just to get a shower, it gets better. I promise.
So to make us ALL feel better, and maybe even smile... I've compiled a list of what I think the internet has told us we MUST do to be a good mom (and I'm calling BS on all of it):
