I DON’T CONCEAL MY
IMPERFECTIONS AND
FLAWS FROM THEM,
THEY ALREADY KNOW
THEIR MOTHER ISN’T
PERFECT – AND THEY
DON’T CARE.

closets, do your 600 burpees a day, cook gourmet meals every evening and
love every moment of it, good for you! I admire the heck out of moms who
somehow manage to accomplish so much and do it so effortlessly.
Likewise, if you’re more like me and get through your days with the help of
lots of coffee and dry shampoo, that’s great, too. Our strengths do not equate
to superiority. Whether you appear to be a walking disaster or are the image
of Pinterest perfection, you still have all it takes to be a darn good mom.
Parenting is hard. For some, the pursuit of perfection is futile and just
makes things harder; others find it fulfilling. We’re all just drudging through
and doing our best.
The truth is, our kids won’t remember the tiny details that make up so
much of our days. They won’t remember how good we were at making
fondant for their birthday cakes. They may not even remember what gifts we
gave them. They may never notice or remember that our tummies weren’t
trim after they were born. The details will slowly fade from their memories.
What they will remember is that we were there.
They’ll remember how we read them stories, even though we were so
tired. They’ll remember we kissed their boo boos and somehow magically
healed them. They’ll remember how small, safe and comforting it felt to be
snuggled. Those are the little things that matter and become the foundation
for their childhood memories.
If you also find yourself struggling and don’t see yourself as the perfect
mom, don’t fret. I have no doubt you’re perfect in the eyes of your children
who like you just the way you are.
