The Brave Art of Motherhood 💞
Hello Sunshine,
As Mother’s Day approaches, I felt called to create a little something for all of the beautiful mamas out there.
Motherhood revealed to me how challenging it is to cater to every single layer of your life, all at once.
Our lives are forever changing and evolving, and we are most certainly changing and evolving.
And so, it is very important to pause and recognize the fact that your happiness and well-being is just as important as everyone else's.
Prioritize your priorities, but understand that your ideas, voice, and needs matter.
Set boundaries. Listen to your heart tugs. Surround yourself with people who nurture your heart, mind, and creativity.
Stay true to yourself and what is best for your family. Allow your faith and excitement to be greater than your fear.
Please don't ignore what entices your curious heart, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Never stop learning.
If something scares you, lean in. It's probably worth pursuing.
It is so important for our children to see with their own eyes that we, as mothers, will not give up on ourselves.
Life is crazy and hectic—never stops. And, at times, very difficult and messy.
Don't lose yourself in the process of caring for everyone else.
You were born to do great things.
Unapologetically follow your bliss and give yourself grace as you dive deeper into 2025.
xx Mel
A cutesy spring photo sesh at a farm turned into Natalie and I falling in love with the entire litter of puppies—especially this girl (Red).
Red was the female pup with the red collar and it was love at first sight.
The name, "Nora" instantly consumed my thoughts. Doesn’t she look like a Nora?
Breed: Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd. 🐾
We are sooo in love. 🩷
A little more…
John is currently out of town (golf trip).
And so, I’m trying my best to keep the kiddos and doggies busy this weekend.
Have a blessed Sunday! And, may the fourth be with you! xx
Art of Motherhood priceless ❤️❤️
