Quotes to Inspire You on the Hard Mom Days

Some days are harder than others, right? I can't be the only mom who occasionally stares at the clock waiting for her husband to come home, who feels like bedtime just can't come soon enough, who kind of struggles just to get through the really hard days.

When those days come around, the Hard Mom Days, I find comfort in: my favourite FB mom group, really big cups of coffee, and inspirational quotes. Here are some of my favourites for your own Hard Mom Days.
