You don't need to be a Supermom.
All too often I feel like I am not doing enough as a mother. I don't have the perfectly cleaned house, I'm not graceful when doing daily tasks with the girls, and I leave the house looking a hot mess 90% of the time. However, there are some days I rock the twin life and motherhood. We leave the house and I look slightly put together, we arrive to places on time, and I have a nice home-cooked meal on the stove. Those are the days that I feel like supermom, but those days are few and far between.
It's okay. It's okay not to be supermom. Social Media can kill one's self confidence. I personally follow several twin moms, and mommy blogs. They portray this perfect life. They have all their ducks in a row. My ducks aren't even in the pond. You have to remember that social media will only show the good, and the "perfection" of life. In reality those mommies also have moments where they feel defeated, and frazzled.
By the end of the day, most days I do feel defeated, and frazzled; not always sure if I can do it all again tomorrow. When morning comes, and I walk into the nursery, I see two of the biggest smiles ever. My girls are so excited to start the day, they don't care if the house needs dusted or the laundry needs put away, they are happy mommy is there. In their eyes I will always be supermom.
