  1. These are such great reminders on ways to be a happier mom. Moms put such pressure on themselves that we can forget to enjoy the small moments. Self-care and removing the idea of perfection are so important. Thank you for the gentle reminders!

  2. Thank you for sharing these tips on how to become a happier mom. I can relate to this. I often worry about whether everything is good enough. I worry about feeding too much frozen food, whether she gets too much screen time or that she’ll remember that I get really impatient and frustrated at times. I do the best I can, but I try to remember to fill our days with good moments. The times that we play outside together, enjoy snuggle time before bed or doing arts and crafts together. Thank you for this important reminder. I’m sorry for the loss of your mom.

    I am starting to be a fan. You made me finish the whole post without even blinking as it was so heartwarming. I agree with everything you mentioned. I let go of perfection since I became a mom to my first born. It was sure difficult, but it was worth it and still is. My kids’ health and happiness always come first in this household even when the clean clothes are begging to be folded! Lol! Thank you for this post and I am so sorry you loss your mom at a very early age, Elizabeth. I can only imagine…

    I was thinking about my own mom the other day and realized that when i think back to my own childhood, she definitely wasn’t perfect. but she was a phenomenal mom. It wasn’t because she fit into some sort of ideal, it was because she loved us deeply and we knew it. That’s my new flood line, and I think it’ll make me a happier mom.

  5. So sorry to hear about your mom. You’re right, I don’t really remember all of the things of my home when I was a child but I do remember the moments I shared with my family. That’s what matters the most. I may not be the perfect mom but I can work towards be an awesome one that’s present.

    I love all the points you described but the most important for me is not to compare with other parents. This is an ABSOLUTE NO NO!
    Everybody comes from a different background and everybody is in different circumstances. By comparing yourself with others is never going to benefit you. Just do your best and leave the rest. There will be days when you will be rocking motherhood and then there will be days when you will suck at it. But that’s how parenthood is!

  7. This is amazing and so helpful. You laid it out so nicely… Some things I really needed to hear tol

    Stop Comparing Yourself To Other Parents. This! Pressure can lead us to oversee a moment as we’re more conscious of how others will see us. We need to be present rather than presentable in Social Media. These are all awesome tips, truly helpful post. Cheers to Motherhood 🙂
