Motherhood. A powerful word that evokes images of fierce love, sleepless nights, and endless cuddles. But let’s face it, moms – this journey can be downright overwhelming. Between the constant demands of tiny humans and the ever-present guilt of not doing “enough,” it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning.
That’s where the magic of a strong support network comes in. It’s not a luxury, it’s a necessity. It’s your lifeline, your cheering squad, your village that raises a child (alongside you, of course!).
This network can take many forms. It could be your partner, a fellow mom friend who “gets it,” your parents, siblings, or even an online community. The key is to have someone (or someone’s) you can rely on, someone to share the laughter, the tears, and the inevitable meltdowns.
A strong support network offers practical help: a babysitting swap, a hand with errands, or a shoulder to cry on during a particularly rough day. But more importantly, it provides emotional support. It’s the knowing glance across the playground that says, “Me too,” or the friend who reminds you that you’re a good mom, even when you feel like you’re failing.
So, mamas, don’t be afraid to reach out. Build your village, nurture your connections, and lean on your support system. Remember, motherhood is a team sport, and a strong team makes all the difference in navigating this incredible, messy, beautiful journey.

The weirdest of Alice's first three kids, he played with matches and eventually burnt down the family home. He woke up four days later from a comma. Must have been some whopping.
A master of storytelling, he creates skewed anecdotes out of nowhere that somehow makes sense. Word to the wise, never get him started talking. :)
