Being a mom is so hard! It's definitely a lot harder than I ever expected. Everyone always tells you beforehand how hard it will be, but I really don't think there's any way to ever know just how difficult it is until you're actually doing it.
It seems like one of the first things in life to get left behind once you have kids, is yourself. But, it doesn't need to be this way. Making time for yourself can be tough, but it's not impossible (even though it often feels this way)!
It's important that we as moms take care of ourselves just like we take care of everyone else. I know that when I let myself go it lead to unhappiness in all areas of my life, not just with myself. Getting back into taking care of myself has made me such a happier person.
Here are some amazing mom hacks you can follow to help get the self-care that you need.
