I see you.
To the mama letting her almost two year old terrorize her
bathroom so she can get semi-ready and out the door.
I see you.

her foot while she straighten her hair or finally makes time to tweeze those
brows.
I see you.

phone calls and returns emails.
I see you.
To the mama who can’t use the bathroom without a tiny person
on her lap or at her feet.
I see you.
To the mama juggling elementary math homework, a crying
toddler on her hip, and a stove full of dinner you wish would just make
itself.
I see you.
To the mama who is always late no matter how hard she tries
to be on time.
I see you.
To the mama who puts in 12 hour days at her job and only 2-3
hours a night with her family.
I see you.

of a conference call, or Saturday morning cartoons because of a weekend meeting
or shift at work.
I see you.

and makes them way too much for her family because she doesn’t have the time or
the energy to serve a 4 course meal.
I see you.
To the mama who can’t remember the last time she had a date
night with her husband.
I see you.
To the mama who can’t be the President of the PTA or attend
all the class parties.
I see you.
To the mama who wants desperately to be a good friend, but
who struggles to return the texts and phone calls and feels like she’s always
the one cancelling “the plan”.
I see you.
To the mama who’s best doesn’t look like Pinterest.
I see you.
To the mama who always feels tired, stressed, worn down,
defeated, and over. it.
I see you.
To the mama who is trying to be ALL THE THINGS.
I see you.
To the mama who doesn’t give herself enough grace for this
season.
I see you.
I see you, mama.
Keep going. Keep trying. Keep putting in the work.
You may not be perfect, but you are perfect for YOUR people
who love you, who understand you, and who support you.
It’s just a season, mama.
It’ll be gone before you know it. ❤️
