To the mom who slips into the bathroom and locks the door just to breathe…
To the mom who’s running on fumes and would give anything for a full night of sleep…

To the mom sitting in her parked car finishing snacks she doesn’t want to share or be judged for…
To the mom wiping tears on the couch after snapping at her kids and instantly wishing she could take it back…

To the mom tugging on old jeans hoping she’ll recognize the person in the mirror again…
To the mom choosing to stay home today because everything feels a little too loud and a little too heavy…

To the mom ordering pizza because dinner plans fell apart and energy ran out…
To the mom who feels lonely even when she’s surrounded by people…

You’re not failing.
You’re not broken.
You’re not alone.

This season of life is messy, exhausting, and unbelievably demanding.
It stretches us in ways we didn’t see coming.
We don’t always talk about it, but so many of us are right there with you, trying to hold it all together.

You are doing the best you can.
And your best is enough.

Those little eyes watching you? They see magic.
Those little hands reaching for you? They trust your strength.
Those little bellies you feed? They feel loved.
Those little hearts pressed to your chest? They want you, and not a perfect version, just you.

Mama, you are more than enough.
You are loved.
You are amazing 💕

Will forever be the girl that gets randomly emotional during the trip because she feels grateful for experiencing the things she never thought she could experience.
