Super mom

Do you miss me yet? Hahaha! Is it ok for me to say that "I miss me?"
It's been so long since my last post, I have blogging withdrawals.  When I was pregnant, I was able to maintain my busy work schedule and social life without skipping a beat. Pregnancy was so easy on me, that I naively assumed once I popped Willow out, I could be super mom.  

I imagined I could do it all... maintain a clean & organized home, run a business and website, have time for the besties, keep my workout regimen, give Vinny the same amount of attention, pamper myself, put on make-up everyday and continue fashion blogging all while feeding, bathing, sleeping and nurturing a little human being.  

"Pop" <---- That was my bubble bursting.

Some things just had to give…
I never work out (it's a blessing that breastfeeding burns tons of calories). 
I let my pedicures go for months before finally removing the sliver of remaining polish.
Make-up is secondary to more sleep in the morning.
Bestie GNO's are far, far, far and few, few, few between. So sad. 
And blogging? Well, by the time I have a few moments all to myself at night, my brain is dead from trying to be the super mom I thought I could be. 

But you know what I realize? That being a super mom doesn't mean doing it all. It means knowing what your limits are in order to be the best for your little one.  Every decision I make, I think about how it would affect her future (short term and long term).  Any sacrifice from my usual routine is what is needed to make HER world perfect and her well being takes precedence over anything.

So if this means blogging only once a month, then so be it.  If you guys are still out there, I hope you stick around : )!!!

  3. i've gone through the same thing since my son was born. i was very hard on myself for not accomplishing my preconceived notions of the kind of mom i wanted to be...at first. my son is now 15 months old and i am the super mom i set out to be because he's happy, healthy, loved, and secure. as for me, i'm starting to do my nails again every week. my friends miss me, but we make time by doing other things like coffee or going to the zoo which are a bit more "family friendly" in contrast to the night life i used to do. you really are super mom, if you think about it.
