Mothers, with their kids and the rest of the stuff they carry around, stand in lines and constantly balance. They are the clowns, the haven, the number one fans. They think of proper food intake, sleep routines, and learning and have many other concerns daily.

Moms stand there holding hands and overthink important stuff without anyone noticing. It may sound exhausting, yet it’s ok. After all, motherhood is a beautiful journey in which we can find our best strength and see our feminine side from a different perspective.

So, let’s celebrate motherhood this fall season!

And, no, I don’t think we should celebrate motherhood because mothers have to do so much daily. It’s only part of the process. We should celebrate motherhood because it’s a glorious, responsible journey of raising a kind human. Do it to inspire others to be better, stronger, and funnier. Be present and show other moms how important it is. 

It’s a journey of the new you.

I remember as if it was yesterday when they placed my little blue baby on my breasts to fall in love with him. In a single moment, he overloaded my heart with happiness and joy, but how I wish I’d known better not to let them take him away that quickly but give me a choice to breastfeed him straight away.

We were a perfectly healthy team, my baby and me. However, we had a rough start. I could choose to breastfeed him, but no one told me that. They left me on the same bed where I gave birth for the next five hours and let me feed him eight hours later! Therefore, you can imagine that my breastfeeding journey was the process of pain and self-blaming.

Three months of fear and no connection between him and me, plus I couldn’t hold him for the whole month after we came home. However, I don’t blame myself anymore. I felt guilty for not being able to make the mom and son bond for so long, but realizing that it wasn’t my fault and the postpartum depression is ok, made it easier to move on.

These days, I find my life unrealistically beautiful. Here’s to doing motherhood during the fall season and loving each part of it! Get something cosy to drink, and let’s celebrate!

1 Declutter your mind.
Let the negative thoughts abandon you as the trees are changing leaves. Fall is an inspiring season for changes. Nature’s changing, so why not you? You can also try this amazing 5-minute gratitude journal.

2 Take a day off!
I had to travel for work last month, so I took a long-weekend trip. I booked a nice hotel room for two days more to relax before and after the meetings. Of course, I called my boys every night, but I needed that alone time badly!

3 Create the “mom club”.
With colder weather approaching, wouldn’t it be nice to gather a group of moms to chill, share experiences, read books together (or create something) and have fun?

4 Organize playdates.
All the moms from the club would love to have where to send their kids to burn that energy once it gets chilly outside. If your house is not big enough, I’m sure you can find some kid-approved cafe with a playground inside or you can all pay for two hours in a playroom.

5 Movie marathon night with your mom friends.
If you choose family comedies, there will be so much laughter because you’re all basically living a family comedy movie once in a while! My top choices for this occasion are: 1 A Bad Moms Christmas 2 Moms’ Night Out 3 Mr Mom.

6 Start a mom blog.
Moms will be on the internet for the rest of the year, starting from now! Halloween shopping, Christmas gifts, home decor, fall and winter fashion, ways to make money – you pick it. It’s the perfect time to start a blog, and if you have no idea how here’s my easy guide to starting a money-making blog in little time.

7 Raise awareness.
Start a mom podcast about motherhood-related topics in your hometown or open an online shop only for moms. I have an online shop that focuses only on affiliate marketing called LTK shop. Super easy passive income + so much fun! 

8 Host free online classes for moms.
Anything you’re good at – yoga, cooking, art, photography. You can also team up with other moms and teach other moms new skills. We all learn from each other.

9 Have weekly zoom talks with moms from all around the globe!
It would be also nice to create a Facebook group to stay connected all the time.

10 Motherhood through art.
Songs, paintings, dance, fashion. Create something artistic to celebrate motherhood, alone or together. Consider making a song compilation for your kids or writing a book for them.

11 Care for each other.
We’re stronger together, let’s love each other. Send your mom friends something special: an apple pie, a customized t-shirt, a candle. Leave a note at their front door, ring a bell and run away. Offer to photograph them, teach them the basics of yoga – whatever runs through your mind!

12 Compliment moms on the street.
You’ll brighten up so many regular mommy busy days!

13 Host a costume party for moms only.
You can do this alone, but you can also ask other moms for help. Rent a cafe for the night and invite many moms to express their creativity, have fun and make new mom friends.

14 Donate to single moms.
Money, clothes, food or toys, whatever you have can be helpful. Every kid should have a chance for a happy and healthy childhood.

15 Remember to love yourself.
Every mom has her bad days. Every mom loses it, yells and feels guilty. But none of that is worthy of your self-blaming. Always apologize, and keep on loving yourself and trying to be better every new day.
