✨Real talk ✨
Wow tonight was fun! Hung out with neighbors, saw my kids interact with families and say trick or treat! It was pure joy and it was fun! 🎃
🤍 Here’s the thing… I did not have the creative energy to organize family costumes, I ordered all these Halloween decorations but didn’t put a single one up.. so after putting the babes to bed, I told my husband that I feel bad for not giving them the full “Halloween experience”
I mean I was sitting there after dinner, scrolling through social and seeing my friends and colleagues pull it all together, that for a moment, and maybe still do, feel like I fell short this year.
My husband checked me real quick! And I see his perspective. The kids had a blast and that’s all that counts.
Wearing many hats at work and the home can be draining and that’s ok! Allowing grace or even choosing not to do things is healthy. I hear that. I see that.
I had a great time tonight with my kiddos but not looking forward to negotiating that one piece of candy a day for a bit lol.
To all those mamas that are warriors at home and bosses at work, or in fact any mama! You’re doing great! And the kids love seeing you enjoy yourself too!
I hope this reaches someone that needs to read this to feel seen!
