We moms are each uniquely skilled to raise our own children if we allow ourselves to discover those skills and hone them. Putting another mom on a pedestal won’t work anyway, because she is not the mother of MY kids and therefore would probably not fare perfectly with them just as I would not be the perfect mom for her children. We need to focus on being better mothers comparing ourselves today with ourselves yesterday, and continually learning and moving forward.

I fell in “friend-love” with her before she had kids so I had no idea how amazing she’d be.

Sometimes, I do find myself wishing that I could get it together and be more like her…
