PARENTING

So to every mom who’s ever said, “I’ll never…” only to find herself doing exactly that—give yourself grace. You are not failing. You are mothering. One morning of M&M’s for breakfast or a movie marathon when you’re battling the flu isn’t going to ruin your child. These aren’t signs that you’re doing it wrong—they’re reminders that you’re human, that you’re doing your best, and that love sometimes looks like flexibility. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Chosen for This: Learning to trust God with the story I didn’t expect.
