Today on the blog, I’m opening up about how I haven’t felt like myself because I haven’t had the time or space to feel and process the pain of two of my closest girlfriends having mastectomies within months of each other, the most recent just this Saturday. A few days ago, I finally broke down, and the floodgates opened as a year’s worth of fear, sadness and confusion burst out of me, right in front of the kids. • It occurred to me that I’ve grown accustomed to stuffing down a lot of my feelings because the kids are ever-present. It would be one thing if that’s just how I rolled, but I do not! I need to talk and feel and cry. (Really, don’t we all?) But instead, I keep soldiering on with the occasional irrational outburst that reads more like rage than pain. * If this resonates, read “Can I Schedule Time to be Sad” in our profile link. My hope is that we’ll feel better knowing we’re not alone, even if we don’t have the best answer to how and when we can process pain in a healthy way while staying attuned to the needs of our tiny audience. #breastcancersucks #breastcancerbefore40 #momswhobeatcancer #effcancer #tribedemama #holdingittogether #selfcare #friendship #momfriends #canadianmoms #britishmoms #momsofboys #momoftwo #momofthree #cancersucks #holdingspace #boobs #brca2 #doublemastectomy #momsohard #momsouttherekillingit #bevulnerable #openup help me @glennondoyle @brenebraun @elizabeth_gilbert_writer !!
How did you decide how many kids you wanted? And when to stop? Love this share from @thegoodwinway ・・・ Tomorrow is a big one for us. God has #blessed us with three beautiful #children. Healthy, strong & incredibly bright. Could we have another, maybe. But truth is three has maxed us out. SO much #love, SO much surrender & SO much sacrifice. After a lot of researching & #meditation on what is best for our #family- I have decided to go in for a complete tubal ligation tomorrow. And while #surgery does freak me out just a bit, the thought of experiencing our marital union with no hesitation & fear attached sounds AH-FREAKING-MAZING!!! And truth is, we could adopt if we feeling like we need another little in our squad🙏🏽 So #prayers, thoughts of love, light & a quick recovery are much appreciated freinds❤️ #thankyou #momlifebelike #amazing_shots
Take a bite outta Monday, mama. • What’s working well for you as you head into a new week? • For me, it’s getting some support to work and/or to allow the baby to have a better schedule while I do the drop off-pick up shuffle. But I still wrestle with mom guilt any time I’m not with the baby, especially now that I don’t report to an office. • Anyone feel me? #gomoms #redefiningmotherhood #mondaymomming #mondaymusings #collaborationovercompetition #momsohard #motherhoodthroughig #tribedemama #momoftwo #keepgoing #getsupport #takesavillage #momsouttherekillingit #mompreneur
Mother Nature rocks. Happy Friday, beautiful ladies.
Here at Totum, we focus mostly on the woman who’s at the beginning of her journey into #motherhood and all the complex changes and emotions that accompany that evolution. But soon we will all be smack in the MIDDLE of motherhood, when our kids need us in a much different way and we begin to encounter all the shifts that will mean for our relationship dynamics, with our kids, our partners and ourselves. * Today on the blog, Alexis Gantsoudes speaks beautifully about what it means to be stuck in the middle. I know this piece will resonate with all of our followers who have school aged kids and those of us who know our moments with tiny ones are fleeting. * Take a moment, take a read, and feel less alone on this wild and beautiful trip we call motherhood. * Link in profile. #middleofmotherhood #totumtruths #kidsgrowingup #needingmom #motherhoodthroughig #notalone #momstogether #webelongtogether #senseofloss #wonder #motherwonder #motherthemother #momofthree #blessedmom #tribedemama #momsouttherekillingit #momofteens #littlekidslittleproblems #motherhoodandidentity #feministmom #webelongtogether
We’re all in this together. Happy first week of school, mamas.
New Year’s Day sunrise. The back half of 2018 really challenged me. In 2019, I am all about permitting myself to seek and receive support, in all areas. That’s harder than it should be. Anyone relate? How are you making things more enjoyable for yourself and your family this year?
Here’s to all you mamas juggling and trying to keep your sense of peace and gratitude in the midst of the many demands on your attention and patience. May we all ask for and find the support we need this year to feel whole. #lovingyou #momsohard #motherhoodthroughig #momsouttherekillingit #motherphotography #beauty #gratitude #breastfeeding #matrescence #momsin2019 #receive #support
