When I became a mother, I immediately GOT IT. I understood why certain friends (with kids) weren’t around as much or why they couldn’t always answer their phones. I realized that I should have been WAY more involved and more interested in my friend’s children, but didn’t realize that until I had my own. I remember telling one of my best friends that I was sorry. Sorry for not taking a huge interest in her children (she had them before I did) and for not checking in on her as much as I should have. I get it. We are all in different points in our lives, but now I really, really get it.

One of the most important things when becoming a mother is having a motherhood circle. A support group that you can bounce questions off of, people you can cry with, people that GET IT. This can be a circle online, offline, all over the line, WHATEVER. You just need it. It will be your saving grace and your sanity on the crazy days. We are all in it together. I will say this over and over again because it is so true. Motherhood is wonderful but it’s also so very difficult. Having friends that you can confide in and ask questions is key to motherhood survival.

That’s why I created the #latenightnursingfeed on my Instagram account. I was so lonely feeding through the nights and wanted a place where mothers could come and be together. To know they aren’t alone. To ask questions. To make friends.

I also want to invite you all to a Facebook page that my friend Lauren and I created. You can come there for the same things. Questions, Vent Sessions, or just for encouragement. Whatever it is, we are all there for support. Come join us!

I’ve teamed up with JTV today to spread a little bit of the mama love just in time for Mother’s Day. You see those gorgeous diamond earrings? Yep, you are going to get a chance to win them below! YAY! I really love being able to do this for you guys because I believe every mama out there deserves a little something for trying their best day in and day out.

I will definitely be passing on my pair down to my girls as they get older. It’s a piece of jewelry that you will hold in your family for years to come. These pictures were taken with my best friend from college. I met her freshmen year and she’s been stuck with me ever since. Two kids (each) later, we are still the same, silly, ridiculous girls we were in college and I love that.

Now here is the most exciting part. Enter below to win a pair of these earrings! Woot!
