Everyday we struggle to be perfect. Perfect mom or dads, perfect husbands/wifes or employees, but we all know at the end of the day there is room for improvement. As I was getting dressed today and changing my top, for the third time, my two year old looks up at me with his blue eyes and a wide smile and says "Perfect momma". Of course your heart just melts and in that moment life was perfect.
I looked at other Blogs yesterday to try and understand why my husband thinks I should have this site. He seems to think I can offer other moms some great insight on either day to day stuff or just life. When really I just feel like a Modern Mom trying to get by life enjoying each moment as they come. I say modern because as stay at home moms in today's world I think most struggle. We struggle with the day, but we also struggle with ourselves.
I speak to my generation when I say Modern Mom. For example, in my early 20's a simple intro to a conversation at a party was "So what do you do?". Now in my early... okay mid to late 30's that question is not offered quite as easily. What a mom is today has different social struggles than what a mom had before us. As women we know there is always an opinion out there from someone no matter what generation you are from. What you have to do is become most comfortable with yours and keep it to yourself on some occasions. Life gives us choices. What you choose is up to you. People will judge me for the simple fact that I have a Blog. I will judge other people just as often as I am being judged.
We all try to be open minded and perfect in life. Life is not perfect, but you can make it perfect in what you see from it. It isn't easy. I am certainly not saying I have all the answers, but what I do know is I am okay with that.
So my goal is to capture my days as I see them. Capture moments as a Modern Mom so when I look back I can remember what was important to me. If others find this interesting or in the least bit delightful then I am glad. Eitherway I have a documentation on life as I chose to see it.
Looking forward to "tuning in", however much prefer the impromptu visits that seem to be occurring on a biweekly basis ;)
