As you browse around social media each day, you’re bound to come across simple mishaps from day to day life with the caption #MomFail. Maybe it’s a snapshot of dishes piled up in the kitchen sink, mismatched clothing on your child because they dressed themselves and you didn’t have time to notice until you pulled up to the curb in the drop off lane at school, or maybe it’s a an exhausted selfie taken the second everyone is finally out the door. As organized as certain aspects of my life are, there are plenty of things I can still work on. I’ve been a hot mess before 8 am, felt like a failure as a mom and it does NOT feel good!
Have you ever turned your day around after a crazy morning? You finally have the house cleaned up and are starting to feel halfway organized, when your older children get home from school, there’s activities to get to, homework to do and everyone still needs a shower or bath before dinner. Dinner? Om days like this leftovers or breakfast for dinner will just have to do. That feeling of overwhelming feeling creeps over you again and you end up right back where you started the day. You’re thinking #MomFail!
There are days we feel angry, critical, impatient, disorganized, and simply just not good enough.
I’ve had so many of these days myself, and with 4 children myself, I totally get it! I’m so excited to point you in the direction of this Brand NEW (and free!) Video Series created by two moms who have lived their fair share of #MomFail days themselves.
Stephanie and Beth are not only popular bloggers, but they’re also moms in the trenches. They’ve got 8 kids and almost 20 years of mothering experience between them. Don’t get discouraged… feel encouraged by watching this mini video series. It’s hard when you feel like you are alone, so don’t be.
Messing up and putting that horrible label #MomFail on anything you do isn’t going to empower you or make you feel good! #MomFail if you really think about it, means you’re failing as a mother- and you’re not!
A simple mistake, even one you can laugh at yourself about, doesn’t ever deserve that hashtag. You’re a good mother so stop putting a negative spin on yourself using #MomFail and think positive.
The next time you want to type that hashtag into a post on social media. STOP! Think about it and walk away. It’s hard to do, but you CAN do it! After all, in order to succeed in anything, you have to be strong, walk away from things that don’t help you and move forward. Today can be a new day. You and your attitude are what make the difference!
