Do you wonder what other parents do when their little one can't sleep? I hope I'm not the only mom google-ing every possible solution to potty training woes? It's true motherhood is the most important job you'll have, offering constant demands, and infinite rewards. This is our chosen career. We are faced with on-the-job training, no handbook, and some days we just need a girlfriend to listen to us.
In a perfect world, moms would be able to manifest 6 more arms to run our households like a hotel complete with restaurant, maid service, childcare and taxi service. Reality checks in and whether you like it or not society lets you know your expected job tasks. So how do we cope? Balancing family and career comes easier when we ask for help. We can lend a hand to our sleep-deprived friend that is so clearly in need of a hug and a shoulder and someone to say "I've been where you are, it will get better, I'm here to help." This blog was inspired by my weekly social circle of moms that need to hear these such words. It does really take a village to raise a family, and I am thankful to have my 'village' on the dark and light days of motherhood. The network of like-minded moms to turn to has to be the best tool for a new mom. I hope this spot will inspire 'momfidence' by offering help and hope to those that need it. So take a deep breath, pull up a chair, raise your mug, and let's talk.
