This morning when I was cleaning my son’s face, he asked “why you clean my nose like that” 😂 I said because I have to make sure it’s clean. He responded with “you and my gma always teach me so much stuff” I just smiled and I thought to myself wow our kids really pay attention to us more than we think. That also made me feel good as a mom that my son unknowingly confirmed that I’m doing this mother thing alright lol

Hey Purpose Pushers! What is one (or more 🤭) win you’ve felt so good about since joining the community? Mine: Joining here with like minded individuals who I can show up for/with and experience genuine uplifting encouragement and give back to even if it’s just a good morning 😃 🥰🫶🏽. One more would be seeing myself thrive in an unfamiliar way since in real life I’m not one to have company at my home or have friends or anything like that… I’m very to myself by choice and ppl attach themselves to me all the time but I end up scattering 😂. I’m loosening up a bit here.

Y’all, I found this on my bed tonight and it hit me HARD. 🥺 I’ve been my daughter’s sole provider and constant, and I fight daily to break cycles from my childhood. This week has tested me in EVERY category and …chiiiile, my finances are tighter than my waist trainer. 😂 My daughter (Adriana) saw that I was a little down today. I feel like I am drowning some days. I had an unexpected bill hit for my daughter’s dental work and I have been trying to figure out my finances. As I get ready to lay down just now, I see this on the bed. Seeing this warmed my heart, but it also made me wonder if my struggle is showing more than I realize. I want her prepared for life, but I never want her carrying adult weight. I’ll drown so she can swim, but I don’t want her jumping in trying to save me. I’m learning motherhood as I go without having had the best example myself. Parents, how do you balance being transparent with your kids while still protecting their childhood? Drop some wisdom on me. ❤️
