Overcoming Pressure To Be The Perfect Mom

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t have it all together.  In fact, I sort of adopted that as my slogan for Carrie This Home.  I gladly point it out on my bio photo:

Why do I do this?  I want Carrie This Home to be a place of encouragement.   I struggle with things just like you do!  I want to be the Mom my kids deserve but sometimes feel I’m not measuring up.  My living room is usually a mess.  I’m lucky if I get a shower.  I struggle with having healthy confidence.  The constant mountain of laundry causes me daily stress. 

The list could go on.

I am willing and happy to share my struggles with my readers in the hope that I can also share some encouragement. 

That struck a chord with one of my readers, Theresa from A Mom In The Making.  This brings me to the point of today’s post.  I have some exciting news…….drum roll please……

I did my first video interview and podcast!  

Theresa wanted me to share about how I’ve overcome pressure to be the perfect mom.  I haven’t totally conquered it but God has shown me some simple things that have made the struggle much easier.  

I have to say it’s weird hearing my voice and seeing myself on video.  But if it encourages just one other person, I’m totally fine with it!

Today I’m over at A Mom In The Making sharing about Overcoming Pressure To Be The Perfect Mom {Video Interview}.

We also did a Podcast talking about balancing confidence and imperfection.

Head on over to A Mom In The Making and show Theresa some love!
