It took me a while, but I learned to find a healthy balance between being a mother and being a woman. I learned to make time for my girls but to also make time just for me. Sometimes we put so much time into making sure that our children are taken care of that we forget to take care of ourselves. I learned that being a mother means that at times I have to temporarily put aside my needs in order to provide for my girls but my needs MUST be meet eventually. From the first day that I became a mother I loved my girls unconditionally! But when I learned to love myself unconditionally I became a better mother!
So ladies if you know that you are doing your best at this beautiful thing called motherhood while still finding time to take care of you then lift your glass and celebrate all that is fabulous about being a mom and a woman!
Happy Mother's Day!

Loving yourself first definitely makes you more effective as a Mom. Cheers to pure fabulosity! xx
Cheers! I'm glad you had a beautiful Mother's Day. It took a while for me to grasp the difference between being a mom and a woman. I felt if I were mom, I had to put being a woman on the back burner. Looking back I was young, wrong and learning. Now I see how important it is for me to be well so that my son's mom can be at her very best.
