What Grace Looks Like

Flower


Letting Lyla eat two bowls of applesauce for lunch because it's the only thing she isn't throwing on the floor and I can't handle one more temper tantrum today.


Going for a 20 minute slow walk instead of an hour power walk because it's all this pregnant body can handle the second time around.


Cleaning the house as I see things that are dirty instead of having a rigid weekly cleaning schedule.


Not stepping on the scale to see how much weight I've gained during this pregnancy because I define myself too much by it and it steals my joy.


Having a 10 minute quiet time instead of a longer one and not feeling guilty or like I didn't do enough.


Saying no to something that would have been fun but felt like too much today.

  2. There come a time when you have have to let certain things go and be ok with it. It's hard as a mama to not want to do it all. Good for you!
