All of that… before you even finish your coffee.
Am I right? 😅

Follow for more real talk about the mental load of motherhood.

The pure joy on their faces picking out costumes.

The way they practiced saying “trick or treat” for weeks.
How they held my hand a little tighter walking up to the houses with the scary decorations.

The excitement of dumping out their candy and sorting through it like treasure.
This is the magic I forgot existed before I became a mom.

Yes, motherhood is hard!
Yes, some days I’m touched out and overwhelmed and barely holding it together.

But then there are these moments... The ones that remind me of my why.

Seeing the world through their eyes makes everything feel new again.
The way they find wonder in the smallest things.
How a decorated porch or a fun-size candy bar can make their whole day.

They’re teaching me to slow down.
To notice.
To find joy in the ordinary magic.

And maybe that’s the gift no one tells you about motherhood, you don’t just raise them.
They raise you too: Back to presence. Back to wonder.
Back to what actually matters.

So here’s to the sticky fingers and the sugar crashes and the costumes that cost too much.

Here’s to the memories we’re making in the chaos.
This is the good stuff.

Happy Halloween!
What did your littles dress up as?

Motherhood made me realize how much I need boundaries.

Boundaries with work because my worth isn’t measured by productivity.

Boundaries with relationships because old patterns don’t serve me.

Boundaries with my phone because rest + nourishment don’t happen when I’m scrolling.

Boundaries with my partner because invisible labor shouldn’t be mine alone.

Boundaries with my time because it’s more precious and fleeting than ever before.

Boundaries with my expectations because I’m human, not a machine.

Boundaries with my inner critic because she’s loud, but she’s not always right.

Boundaries with guilt because taking care of myself is taking care of them.

Boundaries with perfection because I want my kids to see me real, not polished.

Matrescence cracked me open.
It asked me to see what I’d been carrying.
And to start putting things down that no longer fit who I’m becoming.

Motherhood doesn’t always go as planned.

Sometimes it looks like waiting room prayers, shaky breaths, and quiet strength no one sees.

Sometimes it’s loving deeply and grieving the life you thought you’d have.

But through it all, you learn to bend.

To make room for both fear and faith, both grief and gratitude.

To build a foundation that can hold what once felt impossible.

That’s the sacred work of motherhood: learning to hold the hard without losing yourself in it.

✨ Save this for the days that test your strength and surrender.
