The Mommy Club

Howdy, ya'll!

I'm Hannah from Hurley Love.

 

I'm not from Texas or the South.

Born and raised in Northern California.

I'm a new mommy and am here today to share my thoughts on being a part of the mommy club.

Now when I first got married. I was automatically entered into this competition about how big the diamond was on my ring. I couldn't care less, but that is the first thing you get asked. 

"Let me see the ring."

"Beautiful" 

Well, now being a mommy. I'm in a new competitive game.

Its called "Are you a good parent and is your child smart/pretty/sleepy/active/attached/scheduled enough."

Have you been entered into this game? DOn't ya love it {insert sarcasm thickly here}

Don't get me wrong I have met some quality mommas and great kiddos, but every now and then you get hit by an iceberg and gotta put up the mommy defenses.

I was once given this advice "Don't take anyone's. You will know your baby better than anyone else."

And its the truth right?

As a Christian, I'd wish we realize that we are each an individual with a different path and different perspective. I wished we loved more.

As a woman,  I'm saddened that we can't be more supportive.

As a mom, I feel pressured to join in on the gossip.

As an athlete, I feel that inner competitiveness for our baby to be #1 in all areas.

 

I'm realizing more and more to appreciate everyone. To encourage them in their walk through parenthood. 

I feel like there aren't enough of us wanting to lend our support. Honest. Genuine. Sincere.

 

I'm here to encourage you the next time you hear a wailing baby or mom reprimanding her child, or parent spanking their kid, just remember we all need a little grace. 

We all need a little reminder that we are all doing our best. 

Let's be encouragers. I know that is not my first instinct. But I'll do it if you will.

Hands in!!

Hooray!!
