Little things around my house that bring me joy.

I just wanted to share a few things around my house that bring me joy.

Those little years were rough…

The sleep deprivation alone was enough to send me over the edge.

But having my mind and body needed all day everyday by little humans who completely relied on me for both life & development was heavy.

Pairing that with nap schedules and work schedules, it made it hard to make or maintain friends.

Which made everything worse. I was lonely, isolated and wondered if I would ever feel like me again.

I do feel like me again but not the same me. I feel like a different version of me that I like.

But it doesn’t doesn’t magically happen overnight and it didn’t just happen as they got older by chance, you have to start taking slivers of time for yourself early. You have to know that your needs matter and do what you can to meet what needs you have.

I had to let go of control and let others step. I had to lower my standards. I had to be okay with good enough. In some circumstances, I just had to wait.

But it did get better and for that I am grateful.

Nothing is just mine anymore and I just need accept that and embrace it.

My husband bought me this vanity and mirror for Christmas to have a place to get ready in peace and quiet, but my 3 year old pretty much always wants to be with me and do what I am doing.

So instead of trying to take my mirror from him so I can get ready or try to get ready with him on my lap I pulled up another chair, bought him his own mirror and got us the same brush in different colors.

I know it sounds cliche, but I know I’ll miss this someday so I’m taking a deep breath and embracing the joy in simple moments with my babies.

I really do need more me time, but that doesn’t seem to be super easy to make happen in this season so I’m working on making daily moments with my kids more balanced.

My latest blog post is up!

Are you wondering how you can increase your breast milk supply naturally?
