The Comparison Game, the Thief of Joy
Have you ever caught yourself thinking about how someone else is better than you? Guilty! I know I'm not the only mama who feels insecure from time to time. We play the comparison game and guess what? We never win! Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we beat ourselves up so often? Why are we always comparing ourselves to other mamas? How do those moms do it?
8 Characteristics of an introverted extrovert mom
We all know the introverted moms. The moms that will quickly grab their kids from school and activities. They don't talk to other moms and try to not even make eye contact. Their struggle to interact with others is noticeable. Though they struggle, we don't take any offense, because we know they are just being who they are....introverted.
Then there are the extroverted moms. We all know who they are too. They know all of us. They know our names, our kids names, and I swear they even know our birthdays. They make a point to say hi to everyone and make them feel loved. It's easy for them to interact and create conversations. Kid birthday parties and play dates are their jam because it's a place to find more friendships. For them, the more the merrier!
Lastly, there are mamas like me, the introverted extroverts.
Raising PATIENT kids
Patience is the ability to tolerate a delay without getting upset. Let's get real, what other mamas are with me in lacking this quality?! I mean.....come on, us parents are not the most patient of people. I'll admit, my girls have heard me say things like "hurry up, just get your dang shoes on" or even heard me speak to others while driving (like they can even hear me....) by saying "move out of my way".

Dating Your Spouse
When you become parents, kids typically start becoming first place rather than your spouse. I get it, they’re cuuute, but don’t let that cute face fool you. The best thing you can do for your kids is putting your spouse first!
Sleep...What’s That?
If you are a parent of young children, just remember that you are a rockstar! You work at the office or at home with the kids with constant lack of sleep. You are awesome!!!!! If you're a parent, you know all too well of these various stages.....
