Hi, {NAME}!
Someone direct messaged me on Instagram recently and said, "Thank you so much
for showing a picture of your kids eating cereal. I'm always scared to post pictures like that because I'm afraid of what people will think of me for feeding my kids cereal for breakfast!"
My heart went out to this mom because I think we've all been there. We want to just be real and honest and authentic, but we're scared of what people might think or we're scared of being judged a "bad mom" by society.
I used to have visions of hot breakfasts like cinnamon rolls and scrambled eggs or pancakes and bacon while we all sat around a beautifully set table and read the Bible together every morning.
I’d feel frustrated when my big plans and dreams got thwarted yet again by a baby who didn’t sleep at night, a toddler who was really needy, or children who were “interrupting” my plans.
You guys. Do you realize how crazytown that thinking is?? These kids are not interruptions; they are my LIFE, my calling… and investing in them and being available to them is WAY more important than a hot breakfast or a beautifully set table!
So I’ve changed my perspective a lot the past few years and stopped beating myself up over how I thought it was “supposed” to look.

Here's to all of you moms who are doing the best you can do!
