Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you are never good enough as a mom? I have been feeling that way for a while. I feel bad because Mac isn’t taking music lessons, dance lessons, and gymnastics. (Reminder, she is a 1-year-old.) I feel guilty that some days I let her watch more than enough TV. I feel like a failure because even when I am on my A-game, all of those perfect moms  smile up at me from Instagram to remind me that I haven’t color-coordinated Mac’s socks to her outfit or even remembered to put a pigtail in her hair so she could see. I realized I needed to be a happier mom.

Let me just say that I was never an unhappy mom, but I certainly wasn’t as happy as I could be. I tried to google and Pinterest ways to become happier, but it seemed like nothing really worked. So I tried my hardest to just keep on keepin on. Then, in the process of reaching other goals in my life, I found three things that made me a happier mom.
