very very true! Well said X
Needed to read this today. Why do mums feel guilty about everything!
So true. We all need to stop feeling guilty about not being good enough and give ourselves a high five instead 🙂
Lovely post. We all need to hear it sometimes.
Brilliant post. Just how I feel a lot of the time with 2 boys and one baby girl! Please can I ask where Ava’s lovely coat is from? Thanks xx
It’s tough some day isn’t it! It’s from M&S I love their baby girls clothes x
It certainly is. Thanks, yes they have beautiful girls things! A lovely change after buying for boys!
Oh I absolutely love this post so true we all have so much pressure and busy lives we do what we can and the best we can. The world needs to stop judging so much I think. Great post. My favorite!!!!
Definitely needed this today. Busy potty training my twin boys, and lets just say it’s not going so great. Thanks for helping us feel like good moms. #PicknMix
This is a lovely post and so true. I think sometimes being a mum can be really really hard and all we need is someone telling us it’s ok, you’re doing a good job.xx #picknmix
I love this. I am about to be a first time mum (40 weeks pregnant and still waiting!) and I am sure these will apply to be at some point! xx

Such a true post and one us mummies aren’t always good at doing…telling ourselves we are doing an ok job. Since becoming a mummy the guilt has been overwhelming some days, I think it’s part of being a parent…oh joy! #picknmix

Such a lovely post. In such a negative world it is so important to remember that we are all good mums who only do our best for our children…. #picknmix
Always so much pressure on us as parents, with such contradictory advice its easy to feel we are doing it all wrong. Its important to stand up and say we are food mums evwry now and again xx #picknmox
This really made me smile – sometimes we all need that little reminder! x #picknmix
Lovely post hon I’m not surprised it’s being viewed and shared so much 🙂

Nodding away at all of these thinking i’ve been there or i’m still there! We are all amazing mums trying to do our best without a manual! #picknmix friday
Aww,so lovely!I’ve been many of these several times and it’s hard not to think you’re a rubbish Mum sometimes x #picknmix
This is such a beautiful post that I think every mum will see themselves in. I think the fact that we worry about being good enough makes us all good mums. Great post and an empowering read. Thank you x #Picknmix
Love this, think we all need to read this sometimes. Beautiful. #picknmix xx
I think I have probably experienced all of those is some shape or form and its makes you doubt your abilities thank you for the reminders xx #PickNMix
Oh this is so lovely, bought a few tears to my eyes its so acurate as to how i’m feeling a lot of the time (my 5 month old has just gone off to sleep, desperately hoping she doesn’t wake up until I’ve had a chance to finish drinking my brew!!) Beautiful meaningful writing, thank you 🙂
I love this post, sometimes we mums just need reminding that we’re doing ok. For me, today is one of those days so thank you
I needed this. I love this❤
thats great! it puts it som much into perspective
Very true, perfection would be a nightmare as it is the unpredictable that makes a life full of challenges and achievements.
