I have a complex. I like to refer to it as "super mom complex". I always feel like I have to be the best mom and even when I do my best I feel like it's not good enough. I'm my own worst critic, and I'm striving to change that. I teach my kids to do their best, yet I don't accept my own best. What kind of example is that to set?
I don't have to send the best birthday snacks to school that I found on pinterest and spent hours making; kids are just as happy with store bought cupcakes. Can I still do it? Sure! But if I don't have the time, I have to let it go. I don't have to beat myself up because we missed a cub scout meeting; it's not the end of the world. But I can also ask for help, which is an issue of mine. My house doesn't have to be completely spotless 24/7, but I can plan how/when to clean and keep it that way so I don't spend an entire day cleaning.
This is my blog on finding a balance between super mom & just being a mom. I'm striving to stay organized, make life easier, be frugal, be healthy, be environmentally conscious You know, all those things that were just a normal way of life hundreds of years ago. Before overly processed everything became the norm. Before we paid several extra dollars for the same product, but in a convenience form. Before we got lazy.
This will be a blog of trials and tribulations, of reviews, of rants and raves, of tips I find that work, of recipes, of DIY projects, of anything and all things related to being a mom, or just a woman for that matter.
