Reality of getting ready as a Mom

It’s chaos most of the time, but I wouldn’t have it any other way 🫶

2025/3/15 Edited to

... Read moreMotherhood often comes with a whirlwind of emotions and challenges, especially when it comes to getting ready each day. Many moms face the reality of juggling between their duties and personal time, which can lead to a chaotic morning routine. Research shows that about 84% of mothers feel overwhelmed when trying to balance their responsibilities, leading to added stress. This article explores tips for managing your time more effectively, including the importance of setting a routine that works for you and your family. Embrace small moments of self-care amidst the hustle to boost your mood and well-being. It's essential to remember that every mom's journey is different, and there is no perfect way to navigate these moments. Sharing experiences with other mothers and seeking support can create a sense of community, making those hectic mornings feel a little less overwhelming. Finding humor in the chaos can also enhance the experience, helping to appreciate the little joys in motherhood.

Getting ready everyday as a SAHM
I became a SAHM a little over a year ago, and on my journey of having that “mom glow up” or becoming the best version of myself, I started to get ready every single day even if I was going to stay home. I noticed that I felt so unmotivated and down when I didn’t do it and once I started doing i

Confession: I've been in a funk after having my second baby six months ago. I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit and I just haven't been feeling myself everyday. BUT taking the time to do my hair and makeup everyday has helped SO much. My mood is better, I'm a happier

Getting ready everyday? That’s a crock of 💩.
JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION - OF COURSE. The pressure as a SAHM to “feel good” by “getting ready” replays in my mind everyday. I find myself questioning my worth because I want to look like I have my 💩 together. And don’t get me wrong, some days I DO feel better by doing my makeup, my hair & pu

I knew one day I wanted to be a mom, but I wasn’t ready to bring a baby just yet. But as time went on and seeing other people experience loss on social media, as well as real life, I knew I had to do something. Realizing that I didn’t have all the time in the world, and that I didn’t know what
