Being a parent is quite the adventure, especially with four kids all under the age of seven. Here are a few phrases that echo around my house daily.

1. Sweetheart, it’s still dark outside. Time to snuggle back in bed.
2. Seriously? It’s just 4:30 a.m.! Back to bed, please!
3. Alright, crawl into our bed, but I need some space.
4. Oh dear, I can’t breathe! Move over! And your foot is digging into my side.
5. Okay, I’m awake! Let’s head downstairs for breakfast.
6. Just a moment, I need my coffee to function!

Ah, the daily grind of motherhood can be both hilariously chaotic and utterly exhausting. There are moments I find myself laughing and crying simultaneously, questioning how I’ll tackle another day. But once I let go of the “Mommy Competition,” I felt a sense of freedom. The truth is, I don’t have everything figured out. My love for my kids is boundless, but I’m often left feeling drained. It’s normal to want some space, to cry from sheer exhaustion, or to wonder why it feels impossible to get through another day.

But each day brings its own miracles. We muster the strength to rise again, ready to embrace whatever comes our way. So take a deep breath and know that tomorrow is another chance to refuel and try again. We are all warriors in this beautiful chaos called motherhood.
