Mom Guilt

I had a realization today. As I am staring at my baby with just a diaper on, hair a mess and covered in avocado from feeding herself, I broke. I was overwhelmed with guilt, frustration and sadness. Basically asking myself why I can't pull myself together and get this mom thing 100% Instagram perfect.

And then I started to laugh, my baby quickly brought me out of that moment when she started putting the pieces of avocado in her mouth and pulling them out laughing. This made me realize how important that experience is for my girl. Not that she is naked, not that she has messy hair (because don't we all) and not because she is covered in food. This was a chance for her to explore, feel grounded in her environment and she needed me to stop being so dang worried about being Instagram perfect and just LIVE. Mom guilt is so real, but our babies are here to remind us of how perfect we really are and how useless feeling guilty is.
