Welcome to my page Maxed Out Mama of 3 and follow along with me as I navigate this crazy journey of being a mom and a wife. I'm excited to share stories that hopefully you can relate to, activities that you and your family can enjoy and finally, the struggles that come along with all the titles we all share.
"What's my story? Who am I?" I questioned this so many times throughout various stages of my life. For me, becoming a parent was something that always made me stop and think, who was I? My life had changed so much. I went from only taking care of myself, to just me and my husband, and then the second the baby is born it changes you. I swear its overnight. It was always so easy to put everyone's else's needs before yourself, because that's what you do. You always question, "Am I being the best mom, am I doing this the right way?" Odds are, probably not! And that's ok! I always say, tomorrow's a new day. We can start over, try better, be your best self. I think the most important thing, is not forgetting who you are and where you came from. For me, I always wanted children. I was the last of my sisters to have children and so badly wanted what they had too. Now that I look back on that time in my life, I wasn't ready. I wasn't with the right person. I wasn't at the right point in my life to have a child. Just like a book, my story has chapters in it. As I turned a page in my life and met my husband, this is when I was meant to be a mom. Now I couldn't imagine it any other way. I am me, but my life with my husband and children has made me who I am. I've learned how to take on new roles, push myself, and roll with the changes of life. Some days I am maxed out, but every day I am a wife, mom, sister, friend, teacher, student. I challenge you to remind yourself of your own story, and what it is that makes you who you are.
