In the beginning of this year, I decided to take this blog a step further by joining mommy groups to get my work more out there. And hoped for the best. I did not expect to make friends with literally the most genuine and amazing people out there. I know, sounds weird. Right? That some of my most cherished friends live in the screen of my phone. How can those friendships possibly be real?
Well only really four months into it, I can tell you that they are real. They are so very real. They are the ones that are there through everything. They read my every post, lift me up on the hard ones, and make me feel even better on the good ones. They are there through this crazy hard everyday thing called motherhood.
Ive heard time and time again that motherhood takes a village. Of course I have a small village in person, but online - it’s endless. And at times the most important. We all come from different backgrounds, have different parenting styles, are different races, follow different religions, and our families look a little different. But despite all those differences, or maybe even because of them, I feel like our village is even more tight knit.
They are my safe space. The place I run to to confess my worst parenting fails or when I feel like no one will understand me. And guess what? They pull through EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
We've banded together through new babies, weddings, career changes, moves, sick children, and much much more. I’m sure that at times there will be hard words. But im alado sure that we will come back together because motherhood bonds are special and possibly even once in a life time. And I’ll cherish that forever. Because they make me a better mother, wife, and person.
