i don’t have anything tot write tonight, but i’d love to hold space for the girls who have been feeling a lot lately.
so, if it’s been heavy, comment here. you can unload. no judgement. just mutual feelings, encouragement, and shared tears.

I feel like if I received a long hug, I would breakdown and cry. I’m so emotional ….
Whew, I’ve been feeling so heavy lately. Between going back to work after being home with my baby, getting the kids back into their school routines, adjusting to my baby starting daycare, and now preparing to move, I feel like life has been coming at me from every direction. On top of that, my son graduates in 2027, and my daughter turns sweet 16 in January. So many changes, milestones, and emotions all at once.
I’m grateful for everything, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t overwhelming. Some days I feel like I’m just going through the motions, making sure everybody else is good while trying not to lose myself in the process. Motherhood really is a beautiful but exhausting journey, especially when you’re trying to be everything for everybody.
I’m just trying to stay afloat, keep my head above water, and remind myself that I’m doing the best I can. I’m learning that I can be blessed, grateful, exhausted, and overwhelmed all at the same time. 🫶🏽
