🤍How to Make a Momma Feel Seen🤍:

This is a little story from my own life. My family and I moved over the summer, and with that move my two kids took turns getting sick in June. We had just moved into our new house and had NO furniture for over a week. One of my girls was so weak and sick and the other was as healthy as a horse, but bored out of her mind. It was hot as satan’s breath out and the only option was the pool. So we really couldn’t do that with a sick kid. As I was a nurse to my kid on her air mattress, I thought to myself, “I wish more than anything that I could at least go do our laundry at someone else’s house, but I don’t want to get anyone sick.”

The next day, I got a text from a friend who had already helped us feel welcome by letting us borrow a couple of mattresses, bedding, and kitchen items. She asked if there was anything I needed and I presented to her my dilemma. She offered to come pick up and drop off my laundry and even insisted on finding out what laundry detergent I used so she could go buy some at the store. I tried to not tell her as to not be too much of a bother. She told me she was stubborn and that I might as well just tell her. Also, she asked for our Chick-Fil-A order so she could drop us off lunch. 🎤⬇️.

YES. You are reading this correctly. And you are seeing pictured how she delivered our clothes back to us. She even bought the fabric softener! You might have guessed that I owe her big and will love her forever after this.

This is how we make our fellow moms feel seen. Meet them in their struggle and go the extra mile, even when they feel uncomfortable needing help.

Thank you SO much for what you did that day I won’t forget!! You brightened our furniture-free, sick kid world that day and made me feel so loved in my motherhood journey!
