As moms, we carry so much on our shoulders. We want the best for our children and naturally step into the role of nurturer—providing food, clothing, love, guidance, and as much quality time as possible. We want to give them the best that we can. And yet, in the middle of doing our best, we sometimes fall short.

As parents, we know one thing for sure: this parenting thing does not come with a handbook. Sure, there are countless books, blogs, and theories about how to raise children—gentle parenting, authoritative parenting, attachment parenting, and everything in between. But when it comes down to it, most of us are just trying to figure it out as we go.
