Motherhood is?

Motherhood is

Loving someone more than you ever thought you could. 
Cleaning up after your children. 
Giving birth to a baby / child. 
Adopting a baby /child.
Crying your eyes out at 3am because the baby will not go back to sleep. 
Walking around scared that the world would judge you.
Not caring if the world judges you. 
Playing in the rain.
Cleaning dirty butts.
Repeating  you self 100 times and still they don't listen.
Waking up early just to drink your coffee in silence.

.....

Motherhood is so many different things, it is everything, and nothing all at the same time.

Yet there is one thing that no one ever tells you before you have or adopt your baby/child. 

IT'S OKAY TO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!

I don't know what I am doing, none of us really know what we are doing. 

Lets be honest about it. We are all walking around blind as a bat. Searching for answers and holding our breathe hopeful that we are doing the right thing. 
We read all the books, ask every mom group we are in on facebook. 
Read every blog we can find and all for what?
To find out 
that we are in fact good parents. No matter how much the world tells us we aren't.
Our kids are clean, our house is .... " lived in " there is food in our cabnets, and juice in the fridge. 
Our kids aren't perfect by any means but they are ours. 
It doesn't matter if we home school, send out kids to public school/ private school. 
We see that they are crazy but are learning to be good people. 
We are tired.... no that's a lie honestly. We are beyond tired! 
We are....
Cleaning, cooking, baking, running every where, never getting a moment to our selves. Recleaning the whole house because the kids were playing. Laundry is every where, your hair is in a messy bun. Nanny paying, business running, yoga pants loving. Business suit wearing, nail doing, hair pulling....
Every single thing we do no matter how different we do it. 
It is all part of the crazy, fun, loving wonderful, beautiful 

MOTHERHOOD! 

It doesn't have to be the same as anyone else. How our children get there isn't what matters. 
It's that they become happy,  healthy hopefully productive adults. Now that is all that matters.
The tears of joy when they graduate high school or the rough nights where your sitting in your living room. Crying and questioning how you can do it on your own. 
No matter what stage of life you are in. It's all motherhood and you need to know that sweetie you are never alone. 
We are here for you, every single ones of us have been there at some point. 
Maybe not in the same way but that's what makes our journey our own.
