New and looking for a better life

Those baby days are so precious. But after 3 months if you are already up to your ears in diapers and screaming fits then let me tell you, my baby grew up before my eyes so fast. Already 6. I got this all today because I was simply tired. I has a round of "life burn out" I guess. Just taking on too much. But...one thing that I can find happiness with when I really strive to lay aside all of the distractractions is motherhood. A few things I currently love to do with my child is read! I am a big reader anyway. Honestly, with a 3-month-old, they like to be held and hear your voice. One thing I wish I had done as a young mother was read to my child more. At three months old, are they going to remember what you read them? Nope. Heck no. For sanity's sake, I wish I had gotten kindle unlimited on my phone back then (not even sure it was a thing years ago) and just read books. Kids books, novels I enjoy, etc.

Instead, I was honestly scared to read to my child. I couldn't sing...and I was in a phase where I couldn't listen to music either. Let's say it made for a dead silent house. It was stressful. Baby days are stressful. However, although I did read much, I did take many photos. I started blogging when my child was 2. Honestly, it kept me motivated to be a "good mother" and enjoy motherhood because other people could see what we were doing, and it was like an accountability thing.

Pop on a good song on youtube and gently sway around the baby

Don't be too hard on yourself...the diaper basket will over flow sometimes. So sill the dishes in the sink to be honest. Those baby days don't last forever...it is only temporary.
