The last year pretty much feels like a blur with glimpses of sleepless nights, giggles, dirty diapers, and cuddles. People have always told me that this happens and to cherish every moment. I could not stress this advice more. Things aren’t always easy when you have your first baby(s). You put a lot of stress on yourself to do everything right because you don’t know any better. I’ve been a perfectionist throughout this past year and have gotten down on myself a lot when things go a-rye. I’m slowly starting embrace the imperfections of motherhood, because honestly it’s the only way that you’ll make it out alive.

This has also given me a chance to sit back and let my babies by babies. It’s not time to plan for their college education, but to let them explore and make a mess. Watch them get sooo exited to play with the pots and the pans and make noise. These are the things that matter. So mommy’s: live in the moment and hold onto this time when you can still rock your baby(s) to sleep.
