What I’ve Learned as a Mom

August 7, 2020

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

I put out an ask on what people wanted me to write about, and this one came up a lot…what I’ve learned as a Mom. Just as everyone’s journey to becoming a parent is different, so too is their experience, their perspective, and their parenting path.

I thought my perspective on this would best be shared with my scattered thoughts:

  • Being a mom is the best thing ever!
  • My house will never again stay tidy (or my old standard of tidy)…and that’s okay
  • Time goes by way too fast
  • Unsolicited advice comes in hot and heavy the minute you get pregnant…yet…[read next bullet]
  • I’m always willing to learn
  • Someone said to me, “so much of parenting is grey, but safety is black and white…” Amen.
  • I miss my little human every second I’m not around her
  • My “mom guilt” only arises when I start to think I’m not making the choices society or people around me expect me to make…I have to hold true to what I believe anyway
  • Having a baby in a pandemic is no joke…
  • Expectations may not match reality (often for the better!!)
  • How much one can accomplish during a baby nap is both impressive and shocking
  • Cuddles are the best
  • I personally want to breastfeed my baby until she’s 17-years-old…that’s normal, right?!
  • Every little achievement is a cause for a serious celebration
  • My body changed, and I’m so grateful for what it gave me
  • Every postpartum mama should get to have pelvic floor therapy paid for!
  • I happy cry over the smallest things
  • Middle of the night feedings are actually pretty peaceful and sweet
  • I love showing my mini the beautiful world we live in – nature is key!
  • Baby smiles and squeals give me life
  • Being a parent means signing up for the “hard stuff” too
  • Babies/kids are learning, developing, and going through so many hard changes – adult patience is a must
  • Appreciate all the moments
  • Mom buns exist for a reason
  • Baby wearing is life
  • A mom superpower is being able to do everything one-handed…and while breastfeeding
  • Repetition Repetition Repetition – another key to a little one’s learning
  • Get all the firsts under your belt! Most things are harder for a parent to “get under their belt” than a baby (in my opinion), but once you’ve done it once, you know you can do it
  • Being a mom is the best thing ever!

I’m Lauren and I have a deep passion for music, food, the outdoors, and travel.

I am the owner of Miss Lauren’s Music Studio, where I teach voice, piano, ukulele, and preschool music classes – via Skype and within Calgary. I am a Senior Consultant for Pampered Chef, which has inspired me over the years to write two cookbooks (plus one mini ebook cookbook), that have food preparation made easy in the forefront.

“Just because I can, doesn’t mean I should.” “It’s okay to let go.” “Investment in help benefits the whole family system.” Always a work in progress. 

Do you have an affirmation you’re whispering in your own ear lately?!

With D coming up on starting solids, I’m going down memory lane. My midwife said something that gave me all the feels…how incredible it is that every cell of little Deacon has come from me, from growing him to nourishing him with my milk. Knowing he’s going to start being nourished with other food makes me want to pause time, but also…I love this food journey, as you know…since it brought me #collinskitchencookbook and I think it may be even more fun this time around since Collins is already planning out Deacon’s menu!!

Is there anything you want me to talk about baby-led weaning wise as we go about our food journey?! And if not, just tell me what food you think D should try ASAP!!

I would guess that his runner up is when I’m driving, I will take the way that takes longer if I like the route better…💁‍♀️

Please tell me what your spouse’s top pet peeve about you would be…entertain me!!

What “feels like” chaos to you?
