Motherhood is Beautiful, Messy, and Imperfect.

It's not easy being a mother, especially when you're struggling with finances, partners, stress, anxiety, and depression.

But as moms, we're strong, get through it all, and come out on top with our children by our side. We don't have to be perfect, but we can be better than okay. I'm not going to sugarcoat this post. I'm not going to tell you that having a baby is easy or that all of us are doing great at motherhood because that's just not true. You know what? Motherhood is hard work and it's messy and imperfect and I'm here to tell you that it's also beautiful.

Motherhood is beautiful because it's reflective of who we are as women: strong, nurturing, and protective over those who need us most in life. It's beautiful because we have the ability to love unconditionally (even when others don't deserve it). It's beautiful because it teaches us how to become selfless for the sake of another human being who depends on us for everything from food to comfort to protection from the world. It's beautiful because it reminds us that we are not alone; that there are other women out there who have been through what we're going through and know what it means to be a mom.
