Rediscover the Joy in Motherhood | Sandi Parkey, Pink Zebra Independent Consultant

Motherhood is one of the most beautiful aspects of our lives. It can feel overwhelming at times, as our children grow and develop their own personalities, but there is always joy to be found.

When you’re feeling burnt out with little ones crawling all over you, read this blog to rediscover the beauty in motherhood!

Observe Your Children

Yes, really. Just watch them. Watch them play, be silly and listen to their little voices.

Don’t think about the fact that they just spilled Cheerios everywhere, and are now squashing them with their little feet. Instead, watch them dance to music only they can hear.

Watching your children enjoy life will bring such light to your heart. Their youth will bring energy to your soul. Remember why you became a mother in the first place—to love and raise those beautiful little beings. They may drive you crazy, but you love them regardless!

Play Like a Child

When was the last time you got messy? Really, really messy? Children get messy all of the time and don’t think twice about it, so why don’t you join them?

Messy play has a TON of benefits for children, so why wouldn’t adults benefit, as well?

Shake your sillies out, use voices for different characters when you read to your little ones and learn to embrace a messy finger painting session. Engaging with your children through play helps create an unbreakable bond and improves your relationship all around.

Have Interests Outside of Motherhood

Has motherhood taken all of your time? Have you lost all of your interests and hobbies outside of changing diapers and chopping food into little bite-sized pieces? Believe it or not, moms need hobbies, too!

Think about what interested you before you became a mother. What made you feel fulfilled and satisfied? What were you good at? Moms have numerous skills that can be applied to hobbies or work-from-home jobs.
