Have you ever spent time sizing yourself up to another mom? It’s okay we can be honest here. I’ll go first, once upon a time I based a lot of my goals on what other friends were doing and I even do it now. It’s not healthy and it’s a habit I want to break. As moms, we need to all end these hidden – and not so hidden – competitions between moms need to stop because we have little ones watching us and our own mental health is at risk.
