Mama Clothing for Busy Moms!

For Budget Loving MOMS!

As a Mom, I spend a lot of time taking care of my 2 little ones and if I’m totally honest I DO NOT LIKE TO WEAR CLOTHING THAT IS UNCOMFORTABLE. Because you know as a mom you have to hold little ones and bend down on the ground and chase them. It is just not worth it to me to be uncomfortable.

But, that doesn’t have to mean you wear you pj’s around all day either. (even though I wouldn’t mind that sometimes!)

So, I have put together a handful of Mama Clothing items from Amazon Prime that I love and I think you will too!




If you are a Prime Member like me, you will get FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING right to your front door!

If you are not a Prime Member, then I HIGHLY recommend becoming one. Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial! Always FREE shipping, FREE UNLIMTED photo storage, and the lists go on and on. Check it out!

How to Love Your Home Even When You Don’t

Why would loving your home be important?

 

Because it can make you feel content and happy.

 

It can make you feel good to be at home.

 

 

Most of us do not live in ideal homes. We live with random furniture handed down and collected over time. We may live in a home that was not custom built absolutely for our taste and needs. (Rasing my hand here!)

With the season of life my family is in right now, being at home is what is best for our family. We have a 15-month-old and a 4-year-old. They are both high energy and strong willed. We are going non stop throughout the week with school and activities. I long to be at HOME come Friday afternoon. But, I didn’t love my home for a while.

 

I struggled with being upset that my home wasn’t what I wanted it to be for so long.

It really brought me down emotionally.

We are on a one income budget that doesn’t allow me to make “home decor purchases”. And on top of that, we are in the process of tearing out floors and redoing them.

(Not by choice I must add. Moisture issues from the weather.)

Again, not loving my home. Not happy.

 

As a new stay at home mom being unhappy with my home was wearing me down.

Every day I felt it tearing at me.

Then something happened. I started thinking differently. I knew I was blessed with so many things and I was taking them for granted. The problem wasn’t with my home.

The problem was with my thinking. I needed to live more intentionally and creatively. Try this here.

 

I had to change the way I was thinking. I had to use my craftiness to make my home what I wanted with what I had.

I had to make myself understand that my home couldn’t be what I wanted because I do not have the resources to make it that right now. And that’s ok.

There will be a season of life that I can do things I want to my home. But for now, I do DIY projects with things I have and make things work. It’s a challenge and it keeps me busy. But, it also makes me happy.

Steps you can take to Love your Home (even if you don’t).

 

  • Take on an organizing project. This really helped me by making me focus on actually organizing EVERYTHING. It is a huge process to go to your home and organize every closet and drawer. But, It feels amazing once you do it. I was loving my home a little more with everything having a spot.
  • Paint something! ANYTHING! It is weird how this works by taking something and painting it you are creating something new. It feels new and different and sometimes that is all we need to make us feel more content with our homes. Making something our own.

 Disney Quote to Help with your Mama Happiness Each Day 🙂

Mama Happiness




Living is a big adventure.

A beautiful and sometimes hard adventure. We as moms just require some mama inspiration every now and then. mama happiness.

I think about my responsibility as a mommy while I read this. Being a mom is the most amazing job I will ever do in my life. I love being a mom with every ounce of my body.

It is also the hardest job I have ever done or will ever do. There are days I wonder how on earth have I managed to do this so wrong.

As I type this I have a baby sleeping in my arms. This is the moment I feel that I am doing it right.

Then there are the times that my toddler is whining and I can’t make it stop. I try everything to change her mood however it doesn’t work. It’s then time to nurse the baby who is crying and that only makes it worse. Then I’m back to feeling like a failure as a mom.

I can’t do it all. Even though I wish I could.

The house is a mess. The laundry needs to be done. My husband really does need clean work clothes even though I feel like all I ever do is laundry. It’s constantly the same things every day.

I’m struggling with my Mama Happiness.

Our dinner will be grilled cheese sandwiches tonight since I can’t even think about cooking a meal.

BUT. All of this is a piece of MY adventure. I love it. I just need to be told sometimes that I am doing ok at it. A reminder maybe. A little mama inspiration.

I want all mothers to know that you are doing it right. And it will all be ok. I know how hard you work to keep up with the children and the husband. It is tough work. Amazing tough work.

At the end of the day, I am blessed with two amazing girls and my best friend as my husband. 

Just think of it as your awfully big adventure 🙂

I know all moms have their days of feeling like a failure. Please don’t feel that way. You are amazing! A little mama inspiration is all you need.
