I’ve been noticing recently that the things I tell myself will drastically affect my mood. This doesn’t seem like a huge epiphany, but when you’re consuming things that make you feel “less than” or are made for you to feel outrage, this all contributes greatly to the narrative I tell myself. Noticing what I’m consuming makes a huge difference in how I feel about myself as a mom.
What do you do with all your kids' artwork? There's an app for that!
So I don't know about you, but I get weekly, if not daily drawings from my kids' daycare. I'm thrilled every time I get something because I know they're working on drawing, coloring, learning numbers, printing their letters, cutting, gluing, and painting. Very important development skills for sure! The thing is I'm overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I get, because let's face it, most of it is... let me just call it like it is... it's crap.
