This week, we're letting our hair down and sharing our personal lists of things we DO NOT care about as moms. If you've seen the Tiktok trend, you get it!! It's easy to feel pressured by the "picture perfect" families we see on Instagram, our expectations for family dinner time, or the Pinterest activity inspo we save to do with our kids on another day. But let's face it- we can't live up to it all nor should we want to because not everything can make our priority list & that's called life. So together let's decide what really matters to us moms and let go of the guilt around the things that don't make the cut. Yay for less f*cks given- isn't it refreshing?! xx
