Motherhood is a dramatic journey that often feels like a frantic attempt to assemble a cardboard puzzle in the middle of a nor’easter. Who are you now?

So, stop worrying about the crumbs on the couch and the never-ending load of laundry. Instead, savor the playful giggles and the not-so-perfect silence of nap time. Your heart will find satisfaction in these little joys.
