Mums with Tots

If you are like me, I can reel off a thousand things I could be doing better as a mum without much trouble- more patient, more organised, spend more quality time with my daughter to name a few, but find it harder to say the things I do well as a mum.

 I was at a mothers group I run the other day and I asked the mothers to name three things they felt they did well as mums and without exception everyone struggled to name one thing, but all had a thousand things they could do better at the tip of their tongues.

 I guess as mums we sometimes place huge expectations on ourselves that we often forget to enjoy being a mum and instead it becomes part of our 'to do list'

 There are so many things we as mums do well at....here are a few

• We are great multi-taskers
• We are instinctively selfless when it comes to our kids
• We make great friends for other mums
• We give and give and when we are tired, we give some more!

 So as we approach Mother's day, I hope you are made to feel special and appreciated for all the things you do and for who you are, but most importantly take time to appreciate yourself for all the wonderful things you do that nobody else does quite like you!

 Happy Mothers Day.
