this is such an important conversation - I was chatting with a dream SAHM friend at school pickup the other day, and she shared the impulse to have another in the context of her youngest going to school... her mom gently reminded her "at some point, you'll have a last and be in this stage." <3
Yesss love this! It’s easy to get lost in motherhood, but I’m the best mom when I’m feeling more like myself. In the process of re-finding myself — exercising daily, doing therapy, keeping up nail and hair appts, exploring creative projects. It’s beneficial for our kids to see us continuing to grow, explore, and connect to ourselves! 💖
Oof, I’m really feeling the “my baby doesn’t need me as much” feels now that J is 6 😭 It’s so weird to be able to step away without hearing “mommy!” Every five seconds. I can’t decide if I love it or hate it.

Couldn’t agree more!! Good for you for investing time in yourself. It’s so worth it!

I feel the same way. So bittersweet!
I love this. As a mom in the thick of little babies, reading your perspective as a step ahead of me is so encouraging!
Oh I’m so glad! For me when I was in that stage I would take baby steps to try to connect with myself. I hope you find sometime for you, soon! 🩷
