#19 “Balance is a myth. Parenting isn’t a tight-rope walk; it’s a dance. Strive for rhythm instead of balance, and trust yourself to move to the ever-changing beat.”

Feeling like a bad mom..
I had a particularly difficult morning with James today, and I can’t help but continue to torture myself by reliving it out over and over in my mind…

I can't get enough of
feety pajamas, receiving tight hugs and slobbery kisses, belly laughs, pointing and “ooo-ing”, waving hello, blowing kisses goodbye, clapping, tickling, and dancing with James these days.
I love this age so much, and I can’t believe it just keeps getting better and better :) The more personality he develops, the more my heart grows for him.
I’m so excited for how he...

Moms who are thinking about having another baby,...
These questions have been running through my mind lately and I wanted to hear from you all if they ever crossed your mind too:
How did you decide to have another kid?
Did you ever feel guilty for wanting another one?
Did you ever wonder if you would be able to split your time between the two?

"How to Land Your Kid in Therapy" By LORI GOTTLIEB →
“And yet, underlying all this parental angst is the hopeful belief that if we just make the right choices, that if we just do things a certain way, our kids will turn out to be not just happy adults, but adults that make us happy.
