This mama era where I don’t care if my hair’s a mess,
if I’m wearing yesterday’s shirt,
or if I haven’t touched a drop of makeup in days.
I can’t even remember the last time I had a proper 8 hours of sleep.
Meals? Sometimes I forget those too.
And when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror,
I pause and wonder…
Who is she?
Because she doesn’t look like the “me” I used to know.
But honestly?
None of that matters now.
Because in between the school drop-offs,
the endless snacks,
the homework battles,
and the mountain of laundry that magically regenerates every day…
there’s a noise from my children - it’s loud, real , contagious.
And in that moment,
everything feels just a little lighter.
The overwhelm softens.
The mental load pauses.
And I remember exactly why I show up every single day.
Then I realized-
Motherhood will stretch you,
test you,
and bring you to your knees sometimes—
but it also fills your heart in ways nothing else ever could.
This is my mama era.
And even though it’s messy,
it’s the most meaningful chapter yet. 💜
