Self-Care for Supermoms

Self Care

for SUPER MOMS

Super Mom can do it all. Super Mom works

in the home or out of it. She takes food to the school events and treats to the soccer game, and her calendar game is strong. At least most days she keeps that game together. I only have two kids. But between them there are usually several sports, band activities, theater camps and piano lessons happening on the daily. Some days we make it all happen; some days we don’t.

Forget about sitting down at the dinner table. Shoot for

once or twice a week if you must. Otherwise, know they will not perish if you feed them an apple and granola bar or even burger and fries. This is not forever. This is for now. Survival and sanity are key.

Develop and nurture your

network. Community is everything. I’m lucky to have two moms on my street who share carpool duties to and from school sports and activities. I am not afraid to ask for their help, and I’m ready to pitch in for them too. Get comfortable saying, “I can’t do it all today.”

Pick your priorities. Maybe

you don’t make it to every practice. Talk to your coaches and leaders and decide where the attention needs to be day by day. Again, we do our best, but we don’t feel shame when we’ve done our best and still couldn’t do EVERYTHING.

Give yourself AND your kids

grace. They’re going to forget their cleats and be too tired for piano some days, and sometimes we all deserve to take a moment for self care -- which is underrated for kids and for grownups. Peace is the priority.

Search. See. Love. Let me make buying or selling your home a good experience
