I’m late in reading, but this is the single-best thing on the whole site. Giving ourselves permission to be imperfect, and just BE. Bravo!

That is so true Ivy…controlling what you CAN control is KEY! I remember after I had my daughter I went through a little postpartum blues. I had to have emergency surgery when she was 2 weeks old…so I couldn’t hold her for several weeks. I just concentrated on what I could do…how many new moms can proudly welcome guests into their house? Man, it was SO clean, what I couldn’t do myself, I delegated to my husband…and I was SO hormonal, he was AFRAID to defy me! But, it really helped me pull myself out of my funk…good advice Ivy!
