Change the conversation of motherhood

I rarely hear women claim that they love being a mom. Or they love being a homemaker. It seems we’re all claiming to be a hot mess, kicking our kids out of the house, wishing we had other jobs/hobbies or hating our homes. Yes, parenting can be TOUGH! Yes, being a stay at home mom can be weary. But what if we changed the conversation?

What if instead of needing alcohol to get us through we called a friend? What if instead of calling the dreaded 3-6pm hours the worst part of the day we saved that time for actually being with our kids? What if instead of hating how much screen time our kids have we put crafts, books, puzzles and baking in front of them?

I’m right there with you. I can easily continue the conversation of overwhelm and frustration. But instead of staying in the lament what if we encouraged each other as well?
