If you’re feeling drained by trying to fit in with groups that don’t see or celebrate all of you, give yourself permission to step away.

It’s amazing to look back and see how much things have shifted, isn’t it? Motherhood, marriage, and life itself have a way of evolving us—sometimes in the quiet moments and sometimes in the messy, loud ones. We give thanks!
The truth is, we’re all going to make mistakes along the way. But by being mindful of these common regrets, we can make choices that help us live more fully in the present and create lasting, happy memories with our kids.

Life's journey is filled with inevitable changes, and the tides of friendship may ebb and flow. As we evolve through various phases, some friends may drift away, while others will stand the test of time. Embracing this reality with an open heart allows us to cherish the few real friends who remain, while also being receptive to the possibility of forming new, meaningful connections.
