  • You Can Be A Strong Woman And Still Cry

    Today, I’m tired. I’ve run out of steam.
    So I wanted to share these reminders for anyone else that is pretty shattered with it all too.

    You can be a strong woman, and still cry.
    You can be a wonderful mum, yet still find days hard.
    You can be incredibly happy, but still feel sadness.
    You can be grateful, but still wish things were different.
    You can doubt yourself, but still be a voice of confidence to others.
    You can see your flaws, but still be perfect in someone else’s eyes.
    You can love morning cuddles with your kids, but still wish for more sleep.
    You can feel like you’ve done nothing all day, but to your kids you’re everything.
    You can be scared, but still be fearless.
    You can be tough, but still be gentle.
    You can just do you, and that will always be enough.

    🧡💛💚💙

  • For Couples Eager To Call It Quits

    For couples so eager to call it quits after the infatuation wears off, to throw in the towel on your relationship because everything isn’t ‘perfect’…

    here is some food for thought…..

    Lifelong commitment is not what most people think it is. It’s not waking up every morning to make breakfast and eat together. It’s not cuddling in bed until both of you fall asleep. It’s not a clean home, filled with laughter and love making every day…..

    It’s someone who steals all the covers, and snores, it’s slammed doors and some harsh words at times.

    It’s stubbornly disagreeing and giving each other the silent treatment until your hearts heal, and then offering forgiveness and being forgiven.

    It’s coming home to the same person every day that you know loves and cares about you in spite of, and because of, who you are.

    It’s laughing about the one time (many times) you accidentally did something stupid. It’s about dirty laundry and unmade beds. It’s about helping each other with the hard work of life.

    It’s about swallowing the nagging words instead of saying them out loud. It’s about eating the easiest meal you can make and sitting down together at a late hour because you both had a crazy day.

    It’s when you have an emotional breakdown and your love lays down with you and holds you, and tells you everything is going to be okay….. And you believe them 💜

    It’s about still loving someone even though sometimes they make you absolutely insane.

    Loving someone isn’t always easy, sometimes it’s hard. But it is amazing and comforting and one of the best things you will ever experience 💙💛💜❤️💚

  • Why Did God Spend So Much Time On Woman

    WOMAN. . . . . . . . .
    When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day…….
    An angel came by and asked.” Why spend so much time on her?”
    The lord answered. “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?”
    She must function on all kinds of situations,
    She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,
    Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,
    She must do all this with only two hands,”
    She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day”
    THE ANGEL was impressed” Just two hands…..impossible!
    And this is the standard model?”
    The Angel came closer and touched the woman”
    “But you have made her so soft, Lord”.
    “She is soft”, said the Lord,
    “But I have made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome”
    “Can she think?” The Angel asked…
    The Lord answered. “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate”
    The Angel touched her cheeks….
    “Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her”
    “She is not leaking…it is a tear” The Lord corrected the Angel…
    “What’s it for?” Asked the Angel….. .
    The Lord said. “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”…
    This made a big impression on the Angel,
    “Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything.
    A woman is indeed marvellous”
    Lord said.”Indeed she is.
    She has strength that amazes a man.
    She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
    She holds happiness, love and opinions.
    She smiles when she feels like screaming.
    She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.
    She fights for what she believes in.
    Her love is unconditional.
    Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life”
    The Angel asked: So she is a perfect being?
    The lord replied: No. She has just one drawback
    “She often forgets what she is worth”.

  • Dear Daddy A Message From Your Newborn

    Dear Daddy… a message from your newborn

    For now, I need your deep rolling voice and strong gentle hands. I need your warm skin and scratchy kisses, your loving smile and clumsy laughter. I need you to look after tired, exhausted mummy, and to be patient with us through the long days and longer nights. To make cups of tea, and do the laundry. To comfort me in the long dark nights, rocking me gently, as you walk me up and down the dark hall.

    It feels like forever but it passes quickly, you’ll just have to trust me on that.

    For soon, you’ll be back at work. Earning money to help provide food and shelter for mummy and I. You’ll go to work at 8am, sometimes after already being awake with me for hours. You’ll come home, exhausted and grumpy, to a partner who all too often has nothing left to give. This is when I will need you most.

    I will need you to be the rock in the storm. To cuddle me in your gentle, strong arms, while you face down mummy’s desperate cries with tender words and firm hugs. You won’t always get it right, and sometimes you’ll get it very wrong, but Daddy, I promise I’ll love you all the same. In those moments, I’ll need you more than anything, to forgive yourself and mummy quickly. To warm the room with your laughter, and show me that sometimes, it’s ok to be wrong.

    One day, I’ll be big. A princess, a ballerina, an explorer, a dragon or a powerful witch. I’ll ask you to play the same game, over and over, and I need you to play with me Daddy. To put your phone away, leave your stresses behind, and just play. And through this, Daddy, you’re teaching me of my self-worth.

    As I grow older, you might feel like you understand me less, but I’ll need you more. I’ll need you to take my hand and guide me up those first few branches, then let go and watch me climb. I’ll need your calm confident voice that says “you can do it”. I’ll be afraid at first, but I’ll push myself forward, because I’ll know, as I’ve seen all my life, that if I fall, you’ll be there to catch me.

    Then, in a long, long while, I will decide to go out on my own. You might think it’s too soon, and you’ll probably be right, but at that time I’ll need you to trust in the girl you raised so well, and believe in me the way I believe in myself… thanks to you.

    But for right now, Daddy – your deep rolling voice and strong gentle hands are enough.

  • Teach Your Daughter These Things

    RULES TO TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER.

    1. Make your bed every day, even if it’s right before you get in it.

    2. Don’t wear holey underwear…in case you’re in an accident and they cut your clothes off.

    3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.

    4. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.

    5. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.

    6. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.

    7. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

    8. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.

    9. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.

    10. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.

    11. Never walk through an alley alone.

    12. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.

    13. Can’t is a cop-out.

    14. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.

    15. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.

    17. Your body, your rules.

    18. If you have an opinion, you better know why.

    19. Practice your passions.

    21. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.

    22. Stay as sweet as you are.

    23. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.

    24. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.

    25. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.

    26. Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.

    27. Naps are for grown-ups, too.

    28. Question everything, except your own intuition.

    29. You have enough. You are enough.

    30. You are amazing! Don’t let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does….walk away. You deserve better.

    31. No matter where you are, you can always come home.

    32. Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING.

    33. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

    34. No one will ever love you more than I do.

    35. Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.

    36. If in doubt, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown.

  • To All Mamas With A Child In Hospital

    To all those parents that know..

    I’ve seen you in those hospital rooms. I’ve seen you hand your child off to surgeons, not knowing if you would ever get to hold them again with a beating heart. I’ve seen you pray, hope, and hold on to faith with a sheer will that would put most to shame. I’ve seen you hold your baby with tears streaming down your face because this kind of sickness isn’t the kind that just comes and goes, this is the kind where no one can assure you that your child is going to be okay.

    You fight for your child when they can’t fight for themselves. You hope for them and you stay positive for them, and then run to the bathroom just to cry where they can’t see. You research and talk to doctors and talk to other parents to find the best possible treatment plans and solutions to give the best life to your child. You take part in care for your child in ways even some in the medical field are intimidated by – dropping NG tubes, giving IV meds through a Broviac at home.

    You go to the places no one wants to go. You know a side of the world that most would like to pretend doesn’t exist.

    You call your child hospital your home away from home, and while the rest of the world may find that sad, you see the hope. It’s the place that gives your child a chance at life.

    I see you, mumma And you are loving that child unconditionally, just as you should. You are standing beside them come hell or high waters, and you are doing a good job. You are giving them the best.

    You are their cheerleader. You are their smile maker. You are the one that knows their favorite songs and favorite toys. You are the one that knows how to calm them down, how to hold them, how to love them best.

    While other parents know everything about their child’s sleep habits, you know everything about your child – where their normal sats should be, what their resting heart rate is, their normal pressures. While other parents can talk about their kid’s feeding schedules, you could talk all day about your kid’s anatomy, what surgeries are next, or what treatments are on the radar. While other parents are teaching their kids to crawl and to walk, you are teaching yours to drink from a bottle just to get rid of that dang NG tube, teaching them to bear weight on their legs and rebuild their core from weakness of lying in a hospital bed all day. While other parents look forward to going out on a date night without kids, you look forward to the moments when you can grab enough hands to shuffle around a bunch of machines and a hospital crib to just hold your baby.

    You would do anything for your child. And some of you have to brave the path that no parent should have go down. Instead of debating the best way to introduce solid foods to a baby, you are making decisions with doctors on quality of life for your child.

    To all of you, I see you. Hold on to hope.

    Keep on doing what you are doing, loving that kid no matter what.

    You are brave. You are strong.

    You are doing a good job.

    You are a good mom.

    Love,

    A Momma Who Knows

  • This Advert Is The Most Inspirational Thing I Have Ever Watched

    Most parents will never know what it’s like to care for a sick child — not the ones with snotty noses and low-grade fevers, but the ones with real, chronic, sometimes-fatal illnesses — and that’s a good thing. It’s a pain no mum should have to bear, but many do, and a soul-crushing ad is shedding light on just a glimpse of what that struggle is like.

    In honor of Mother’s Day last year, SickKids Foundation, a children’s health nonprofit, released the 90-second commercial. In it, there’s a mom praying in a church pew, a mom screaming and bashing her fists against the steering wheel in a vacant parking lot, and a mom breaking down in tears as a nurse explains how she’ll have to care for her sick infant. Those watching can almost feel the anguish. Almost.

    Then, each of these moms literally wipes away the tears, picks herself up, and gets to work. It’s remarkable.

    The organization’s message? “For every kid in hospital who’s missing childhood, there’s a mom staying strong.”

    Unlike most ads you watch, take action after you see this one. As SickKids implores, stand with these mums to “help their kids get back to just being kids.” And may you never have to know this kind of strength.
