Gina talks motherhood:
What would you tell an expecting mom about the experience of being a mother?
It is a crazy journey. One that you will try your best to be prepared for but curve balls will surely come. Meet them with grace and do the best you can – it will be enough.
What is the hardest part about being a mom? Biggest frustrations?
I am in the 3 year old toddler stage right now so I am in the thick of it. No amount of education or prep work can prepare you for it. Trying to get them to do what is right without handholding them. Seeing them make mistakes and trying so hard to not help them (so they will learn).
What is your favorite part about being a mom? What makes all the hard stuff worth it?
The little moments. Like the first time he hugged my husband and I because he was so happy (we didn’t see it coming) or when he rubbed my back when I was sick. Going on adventures and seeing the world through his eyes.
Any tips, tools, and tricks do you use that you’d love to tell other moms about?
Give yourself grace. Trust your gut and mama intuition (THIS IS ESSENTIAL) as you know your kids the best.
