She's a Good Mother

Maybe she had her baby in a hospital with pain meds, but it doesn't matter because she s still a good mother

Maybe she had her baby at home with minimal medical assistance, but it doesn't matter because she's a good mother.

Maybe she exclusively breastfed her child, but it doesn't matter if it was months or years she's still a good mother.

Maybe she never breastfed her child, but it doesn't matter because she s still a good mother.

Maybe she gave up a career to stay home with her children, and that's okay because she's a good mother.

Maybe she pursued her career ambitions, and that's okay too because she is still a good mother.

Maybe she takes time every day for herself for either exercise or a personal interest, but that's okay because she s a good mother.

Maybe she rarely puts herself first, but that's okay too because she s a good mom.

It doesn't matter what works for each of us. There is no one right way to raise our children. All good mothers love their children and do what is best for them and their children. No two of us will ever mother our children the same, and that is quite okay. As women we beat ourselves up too much. You are a good mother but also don't forget to tell the woman beside you that she is too.

The Story of the Bloody Nose




Have you gotten my book, Moms, Monsters, Media & Margaritas,  yet?  It examines how our 21st century digital world shapes our perceptions and expectations of our capabilities as mothers, wives, employers, and women. It will leave you with a humorous and inspirational look at the individual journey of motherhood that takes each of us from the girl we were to the woman we become. The book is also now available on the Amazon kindle for $3.99 and the Barnes and Noble Nook for $4.99. With the purchase of print and ebook books  20% of sales goes towards a children's charity for the The PACI Fund Project.
