Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids Kim John Payne and Lisa M. Ross I started reading this book for two reasons. First, it’s been hanging around on my bookcase for awhile and it’s about time. Two, I have a book due to come in from the library that’s got a growing wait list. I needed something I could stop reading and then pick back up again. So far, it’s reaffirming our decision to not get our kiddo too many toys. We live in a small home and I don't like to be overwhelmed by stuff - physical or mental. This book is providing me ways to keep all that clutter at bay.

This moved me. I appreciate how you name the quiet, unseen parts of motherhood—the patience, the do-overs, the forgiving-yourself and trying-again. It’s a reminder that “being a mom” is less about perfection and more about showing up with love, even on the messy days. Thank you for sharing this with such grace.
