Tired Mama, tired Mama what do you see?
I see my fed, messy, silly, happy, loved children smiling at me.
Relax, tired Mama. Take it in. All the mess and chaos will be there tomorrow, but our babies are only going to be this little today. Love them, tickle them, kiss them, play with them, make messes with them. Embrace the crazy for just a little while, it will all be gone before we know it!
As as a special bonus, you can also watch our team read this one aloud!
Because it’s #reallife y’all
