This week seemed to drag on and I thought it would never end! I went through a roller coaster of thoughts and emotions, which included self doubt. I doubted myself as a makeup artist, a business owner, a wife, but I mostly doubted myself as a mother. I asked myself, "why is it difficult for me juggle it all when other moms do it so well day in and day out?” Yesterday, I decided to shut out all negative thoughts… My son had a brilliant idea to throw a pretend birthday party (Oh to be 4 again!). I thought, “why not?” We don’t NEED an actual birthday to celebrate and be in each other’s company. So I put my phone away, ignored calls and emails for a few hours and we got to work. (Sidenote: I apologize to those of you that emailed yesterday! You should have a response in your inbox now.) We decorated, served cupcakes, and played party games. Just the 4 of us! It hit me — and truth be told, I’m ashamed to admit this — it had been a while since we thoroughly enjoyed spending time as a family, without phones or devices getting in the way. I think it was just what I needed! A reminder to live in the moment, to not worry about every little aspect in life, and to STOP comparing myself to others. I am doing the best I can with what I’ve got and all my kids really want is for me to spend time with them and love on them!

Today, I woke up feeling refreshed and although those negative thoughts might still pop up here and there, I’m opting not to pay attention to them. Here’s to good vibes, happy thoughts, and doing random things on a whim! #happyfriday
