I get asked, How do you do it? in reference to having and managing twins. And most of the time I respond with, I have no choice - I just have to. If I slow down though, there is a better answer.
I give myself GRACE. Grace to not be perfect. Grace to not be the Pinterest mom - even though I try sometimes. Grace to lower my standards, give myself a break, survive another day, ask for help, give them a giant bag of gummy worms to survive taking all three to my doctors appointment solo(yep, did it), whatever it is - I don’t have to be perfect. I just have to be present and be there for them. I have to take care of my self - that means not feeling guilty for taking time to workout or work for an hour or two on my business. It means buying the new leggings to make myself feel good - and not feeling guilty because we know I always spoil my kids. It means filling my cup so I can keep pouring into them.
You don’t have to do it all. All the things. Just be there. Show up. Do your best - even if your best is a hot mess some days because trust me, that’s the train we are on!
