Day 13 Every little choice

Every little choice you make in parenting is judged by someone else.
If you breastfeed or formula feed. 
If you co-sleep or straight to the crib sleep.
Rear face till two or switch when you feel is right.
All organic or McDonlads...

No matter what we choose we are judged. And it can be very harshly. Feeling very strongly about a certain topic can come out in a very hurtful way. Your best friend will have an opinion, your grandma, the aunt you see three times a year, the lady down the street. EVERYONE and their uncle have an opinion. 

So where do we go.
I tend to put my guards up, ready to attack.
I make my choices and I want others to just say, ok I support that but 90% of the time someone thinks their choice would be better. 

So where does that take me?
To be that 10%, I want to be the 10% that supports mothers, encourages with realness.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for BUILDING OTHERS UP according to THEIR needs..." Ephesians 4:29

What if we did that?!! What if instead of tearing each other down for different choices, we would build each other up!

  1. This is good. Becoming a mom that was the hardest thing for me, everyone had something to say. I was afraid if getting judged one way or the other. This is so good though!!

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
