"That" Mom
As women we tend to compare ourselves to other women...not a good habit but it is what it is. It doesn't help that we have tons of impossible "examples" all around us of what a woman "should" be. I really appreciated Colbie Caillat's latest video "Try"...just watch it if you haven't, it's awesome. Sometimes I think it's harder as a Mom to have all these examples of women around us, of what we're expected to be. I'm not saying we shouldn't care for our bodies and exercise and eat well, but I mean if we have a little "muffin top" left over from when our bellies stretched out full of a 10 lb baby, I mean c'mon, give yourself a break. We can't all be like Gwenyth Paltrow with a personal chef, nanny, personal yoga instructor, personal fitness trainer, yada yada yada. Unless you have all that help (and can afford it in the first place) it's freaking hard to care for little people and give your own body ...
