Mommyality

Every mommy-to-be prepares differently for parenthood. Some moms spend endless hours researching techniques and methods for raising their children while others decide to just wing it. Regardless of which type of mom you are, one thing remains true, you will not be a perfect mommy. You just won't. You will make mistakes and things will go astray from "your plan." It's inevitable and its reality. It is just Mommyality.

But it's not about the mistakes you make. It's about putting forth your best effort and doing so with a positive attitude. When you approach an obstacle or make a mistake, do you curl up in a ball and hide from it or do you come up with possible solutions and just keep trying until it works? 

I have faced many Mommyality moments early on in my experiences as a parent and I expect to face many more in the future. Through trial and error I have come up with some great and some not-so-great solutions for these obstacles. I think it is important for us moms to stick together and lift each other up which is why I wanted to put this blog together. I want to share what has worked and what has not worked for me as well as provide encouraging words and messages in hopes of helping out others facing their own Mommyalities.
