The Minimalism Game: Day 4

Today, I almost cried in my front yard watching my 2 year old play because I know that I am going to wake up one day and she'll be 20; time goes by so fast.

I came inside the house and collected some random junk.
  • A monkey in a banana that an ex-boyfriend won me 
  • 2 containers of Play-Doh
  • A leia left over from Olivia's birthday party 2 months ago
  • A lanyard
  • A pen with a light-up end that doesn't light up anymore
  • A Japanese ribbon
  • A basket from an Okinawan co-worker 

More than 4 things. Once you start, it's hard to stop.

Aaaaand, today's motherhood rant:

Motherhood is not a competition. Like, damn.

If you're doing the best you can, that's all that freakin' matters. Your kids need a happy mom, not a perfect one.
For my family, it means I workout (so I don't strangle someone #stressrelief) but sometimes I only shower once a week. It means sometimes we eat organic, home cooked meals and sometimes we survive on hot dogs and Chex cereal. It means if 1 room in our house is clean, there's probably 2 that could get us featured on Hoarding: Buried Alive. It means that sometimes my toddler watches too much TV because my business to-do list is a little too long.

So, whatever making yourself happy looks like for YOUR family... celebrate your badass self, mama.
