Hi! On Monday, Chris, Jack and I had our photos taken at the Irving Nature Park. It was the perfect time of day for beautiful lighting and the photographer was fantastic.

Even though I felt overwhelmed and upset that Jack was tired and only wanted Chris- the pictures turned out really well.

This got me to thinking about the nature of Motherhood- and that appearance vs reality idea.

Sometimes I feel like I must look like I’m losing it. I feel so out of control, or overwhelmed or upset or frustrated. But when I express those feelings, people are often surprised. So I suppose that even though I’m feeling all of this turmoil internally- I must look fairy calm on the outside.

This is your daily reminder to look at social media with a grain of salt. Things might looks perfect- but what they are is a snapshot of someone’s life. Things on the outside don’t always reflect things on the inside. 🧡🤎❤️
