Motherhood Realized

March 24, 2014 By katbiggie 10 Comments

Do you ever feel like you are not enough as a mother? Good grief, I do.Motherhood Realized

For example, last Friday, after I pick my daughter up from school, I hear her sweet little voice from the backseat. “Mommy, we forgot to take the purple jello today.”

My heart dropped and I felt tears prick at my eyes.

Her teacher had given me a box of jello to make for the class. They had multiple colors so that the kids could eat a rainbow of jello.

And I forgot. I told my daughter I was so sorry that I forgot and she sweetly replied, “It’s okay mommy. Ms. Lisa said it was fine.”

She was not bothered.

It was not nearly as big of a deal to her as it was to me. She moved on while I wallowed in guilt.

I think we have a lot of pressure on us to be “perfect” moms. And none of us can live up to that. So I am very excited to tell you about this new book (which you can and SHOULD pre-order today!) called Motherhood Realized.

I had the privilege, as an Ambassador for The Power of Moms, to read an advance copy. I loved the message of the book. I am the best mother that I can be, and it doesn’t really matter what other moms are doing. My children want me.

Here’s a short video about it.

 

Some of my favorite quotes from the book:

“The pain and joy of motherhood go hand in hand. They are inseparable. You can’t get the baby without the waves of labor pains. You can’t become the strong and patient and knowledgeable mother you want to be or raise the resilient and wonderful children you dream of without the waves of trials and joy that stretch and grow you and bind hearts together.”

“Indeed, every woman engaged in the marathon of motherhood deserves her own cheering section”

Go pre-order your copy today. You won’t regret it. Here is my amazon affiliate link.

    Totally have to look into this book now. And would you believe that last week I almost forgot the tubs of butter I had volunteered to buy and bring for each of my girl’s St. Patrick’s Day parties. I had to turn around and go back to our house to get them when I was almost half to school. Mother of the year award here too and seriously I would forget my head somedays if it weren’t attached. Thank you for sharing this and totally sounds like a great read for all mothers 🙂

      I guess it happens to all of us! At least you remembered and got it to their classes! I think we have so much we are trying to balance, it’s impossible to keep it all straight! If you buy the book now, you get all kinds of really neato freebies from Power of Moms.

    I love that last quote! It really is all of the little things. I pray every night that I don’t blow this motherhood gig, but I know I make mistakes all the time. We are our own worst critics.

      Yes, we are. And it is so easy to mess those little ones up. But if you’re taking the time to be conscientious about it, I’d say you are doing awesome!

    Sounds like a great book. I hate it when I forget stuff for my kids. But, you are right. They don’t take it nearly as hard as we do!

    I’m actually reviewing “The Good Mother Myth” right now and it’s similar – about how we try to live up to the myth of the perfect mother.

    Sounds like a great book. I have put it on my wish list so that when it comes out, I can send a sample to my Kindle before I purchase it. Thanks!
