That's a Latte

Getreadywithmemamma it’s a latte. Recently, we’ve purchased a coffee maker that can make one large cup of coffee, Keurig and an eight cup pot. It’s expanded our universe to so many more coffee options. With it, we are also using a whisk to foam our own lattes and we are buying some coffee syrups to recreate our favorite go to lattes and drinks from coffee shops. It feels empowering to be able to concoct our own lattes and to save $3-5. Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot of stories of Mamma overload. Parenthood is a wonderful gift and it has the deepest of meaning and experiences with it. It also has incredible potential for guilt, shame, exhaustion and boundary crossing overload. There’s a reason why it’s called the hardest job. It is worth it, but just like going out for coffee can become overbearing in both it’s addictive quality and pocketbook drain. So too, can parenting become this drain on our daily resources that we all fall into pits from. It’s ok, it’s like every other human relationship in that it has limits and eventually, you take the good with the bad. It’s ok Mammas to feel drained, overwhelmed, or exhausted from time to time. I actually expect every Mamma to experience that at some point. What makes you feel better? What brings as, my Mamma called it, your love cup back to full again? Refill yours because you really can’t pour out a thing unless your own love cup has something in it. In our modern day lives it’s hard to find that thing. I dare you, close your eyes and remember a time when you felt renewed, refreshed, yourself. Now quick, write those things down even if it’s just one thing. Now, try doing one of those things once this week. Peace, love and harmony Hippie Jula says it’s ok 😊💕🙌🏼
