Is anyone else just feel like they are not themselves? I feel like I’m just mum. Baby is 2 months old and I’m breastfeeding so I don’t leave baby much at all.

Why 'Wake Up Earlier' Is Bad Self-Care Advice (For Me) - And What I Think About Instead

If one more blog, influencer, or book tells me to wake up 15 minutes earlier for self-care, I'm going to scream. 😤 That advice just doesn’t work for me. And honestly, I don’t think it’s practical for most moms either. Every extra minute of sleep is precious—sleep is self-care! My belief is this: self-care…

Anyone else in this situation?

I am very happy to spend every day taking care of my baby. I love the quality time and being able to meet his every need. I am grateful to be a SAHM, but sometimes, especially after 10m, I miss working? I miss being around people every day and interacting with guests at work. I miss the creative outlet my work provi...

If I get a night to myself I almost feel guilty for enjoying it, but I think I am a better mum if I am in a good headspace myself. I feel like some mums make you f...
