Happy Mother’s Day! (Well, almost.) This Mother’s Day on my blog, I want to do a little something different.
For the holiday, your kids and your partner might gift you a homemade card, a bouquet, a special breakfast or maybe even a much-deserved morning to sleep in. That’s totally legit. Syrup-sticky kisses in bed and hand-glued art are some of the best perks of motherhood.
But waiting for the gratitude—especially on just one day a year—isn’t enough. That’s why in the two weeks leading up to Mother’s Day this year, I’ll be featuring the stories of mothers writing themselves a message.
Too often, we moms fill the internet and our heads with self-doubt and self-criticism. That’s why this Mother’s Day, I want to flood my tiny corner of the web with mothers celebrating ourselves.
In these guest posts, you’ll hear from moms who walk slowly alongside toddlers and shuttle kids to out-of-state sports tournaments. You’ll hear from moms who kiss boo boos and battle cancer. You’ll hear from moms who delight in the everyday joys of motherhood and slog through the hard times.
These stories are authentic. And they might ring true for you, too.
I hope you join me in the coming weeks to read these Mother’s Day posts. And I hope you’ll share in the comments why you appreciate yourself this Mother’s Day.
It’s time to celebrate ourselves. Are you in?
Sounds like a very positive series highlighting all the moment goodness that happens everyday, looking forward to it!
Yes! That’s what I wanted to do: inject positivity into the conversation!
This is great!
What a great idea for a mother’s day gift that’s really inspirational and uplifting. Looking forward to checking out the series!
Awesome Erin! I hope you stop by again!
What a great series idea! I can’t wait to read all of the stories. It’s crazy hard being a mom sometimes. Little bits of gratitude, even just a teeny tiny bit, are essential!
Absolutely! Gratitude goes a long way, especially on the hard days.
This is such a wonderful idea for a series. So much respect for all the moms and dads out there giving it their all. 🙂
Me too! I definitely wanted to celebrate the awesome parents out there.
I think my message is gonna have to start with… Dear momma, I’m so proud of you for finally sitting down and writing this piece!
I’m SO excited for this series and can’t wait to read everyone’s letters. And, I can’t wait to get mine to you!
Haha! It is so hard to get to all the things we want to do. Such is motherhood!
Can’t wait to read yours, friend!
I love this idea for a series! So often moms are so busy trying to keep up with taking care of the kids, and worrying about everything they’re not doing or should be doing, they don’t even give themselves credit for everything they are doing! This is a great way to empower moms and perfect for Mother’s Day!
Thank you Celeste! That’s what I was hoping to convey with the series. 🙂 Glad you stopped by!
