What Kind of Mom Are You?

Are you a crunchy Mom?
A whiny Mom?
A helicopter Mom?
A Free Range Mom?
A supportive Mom?
The Best friend Mom?
The organizer Mom?

The list truly could go on and on but you get the idea. Being a Mom comes in so many ways and I truly think we change as the need arises and our children change as they grow.

I would like to think I am a combo at this time in my life. I am a friend of my kids but only secondary to helping them make good decisions in life.

I think I am  a good Mom and my kids do tell others that I am so that makes me feel good.

So how does one be a good Mom?

After being a Mom for more than 23 years I definitely have learned we have to take care of ourselves!

This is NOT selfish, it is a must. We need time to revive and unwind.

How we take a break and unwind can be so different though.

Enjoy a glass of wine.
Take a nice hot bath.
Go have a cup of coffee with a bestie.
Go to the movies...by yourself,

The list is really endless and if you are a new mom I strongly suggest getting a day, at least once a week, to unwind.....make a list of things that RELAX you as well as a list of people who can step in and give you a break.

Remember YOU can be a good Mom, I know you have it in you,
