Some may call me a bad mom for a few of these choices, some may say I have not always been on top of my game or doing it all well, but that is life. I listen to their opinions, but I am working to be what my children and husband need me to be.  […]

I am so glad that you stopped by to share that. It is so important for us moms to connect with each other. I think the hard days feel a bit more "normal" when we do. It is great that you have found more contentment with your role and know that you are wonderful! I too live far from my extended family and that has weighed on me at times. It would be so nice to just call my mom to stop over and watch the kids in a moment of a bad day so I can clear my head, but I have prayer. I have to use that. I hope that things continue to get better for you-we all have bad days, but we can keep pushing forward learning as we go. I wish you well!

My son is 6 months and my PPD started around 3 months. I am sure part of my PPD came from me putting pressure on myself to be the perfect mom, and wife. My husband and I also live 4 hours away from our familys which we are close with. It was hard and still is to be so far away from our support. I finally started reaching out to some moms in my area and was so surprised to see that other moms struggle just like myself. I was also surprised to see how supportive other mothers are. I do not wish PPD or anxiety on anyone, but its nice to know that a lot of moms go through this and that my worrys were normal.

Little did I know I was already everything my husband and son needed me to be. I was letting worrying about every little thing take away from me fully enjoying my son, and this wonderful life I have. I love them more then anything and enjoy them. I am still struggling with PPD and anxiety, but with the support of my loving husband,my family, prayer, and support from others moms it's getting better.

I love your website and your post. I think its important to talk about the struggles as well as the many wonderful things that come along with being a mom.
