Hello Mother Goose

There’s a kind of exhaustion that comes from being needed allllll day! The constant questions, the touching, the multitasking, the noise, the mess, the feeling of never fully clocking out. You can absolutely love motherhood and still feel like you need a break.

And honestly, I think a lot of being “touched out” is not always physical. Sometimes it’s mental. It’s answering questions all day, keeping track of everyone’s needs, making every decision, remembering your book summer camps and dentist appointments and filling out that waiver. Remembering every little thing, and rarely getting a moment where your mind can fully rest.
A lot of mothers are not asking for grand gestures. They are craving moments of relief. Quiet. Help that does not need to be delegated first. Space to simply exist without someone needing something from them every second.

Sometimes the most loving thing you can say to an overwhelmed mom is, “I already took care of it.”
That kind of care invites a sense of ease into her wellbeing, and every mother deserves to feel supported in that way ❤️🙏🏻
