"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."

I generally don't have a hard time asking for help. I've realized since having children that I can only do so much and that raising kids isn't a one-person job. However, there's been one area where I've been dragging my feet with getting help --- BEDTIME. Yes, bedtime at my house is not pretty. I do dinner, bath and bedtime on my own with the kids every night and it's physically and mentally draining. Leading my two small children through this process is no small feat and it often involves yelling, bribery, sweat, and tears. . My husband has suggested MANY times that I get a sitter to help out once or twice during the week but I've always told him that's ridiculous. I can handle it. . But today I finally ASKED FOR HELP. I reached out to a good friend to see if her 13-year-old daughter could come over just one night every week to give me a BREAK. She starts Tuesday and already the weight has lifted just a little bit. Knowing I'll get this one night (really just this one hour!) is already allowing me to feel more in control and like a more competent parent. . What do you need help with? Have you asked for help? If not, what's holding you back? .

So many parents, particularly moms, feel like they are failing in their journey of parenting. And the majority of these parents say that they feel pressure from social media sites like Instagram and Facebook to live up to this filtered idea of a perfect life. That is one of many reasons why I make a point to share my "unplugged" posts - let's face it folks, those posts represent what life is really like 95% of the time! . . . 
#MakingOverMotherhood and the #MMHWeek2019 campaign are focusing on many areas of parenting- prenatal care, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period, and encouraging moms to share their stories and talk about their maternal mental health experiences. I am so happy to partner with The Blue Dot Project and the Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week Campaign as I share in recognizing mothers need support in order to thrive! . . . Hop on over to the blog (link in bio!) to check out my thoughts on this incredibly important subject!

"Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me."

Current mood ‍♀️ I woke up this morning feeling unwell, and decided the best thing for me to do was stay in bed. Big shoutout to my mom who is visiting from Australia and is looking after my kids and me I don’t care how old we get, we need our Mumma’s when we get sick! . But it bought up so many emotions for me, I HATE being sick or tired. I feel like I always have to be striving for things, ticking things of my to-do-list, and it’s taken me a lot of work to actually honour my body. When we are rundown, unwell or just exhausted us women and mothers tend to push ourselves, feeling guilty to take some time for ourselves. . So, to all the ladies out there that need to hear this message ~ please take time to listen to your body Don’t ignore it and grab a coffee and push through. Our bodies are so incredible, and always messaging us. It’s our job to listen ✨ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #rest #holistichealth #listentoyourbody #girlwashyourface #take5 #mindfulness #momsmatter #qotd #quotesaboutlife #motivationalmonday #lifecoach #healthcoach #motherhoodquotes #currentmood #takeabreak #intuition #honoryourself #maketimeforyou #healingquotes #healing #

"Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry."

There are so many of us who are mothers to children who only live in our hearts. Some of us have other children here on earth, but our other babies will always be missing - no matter how many years have gone by. My hope is for all of you beautiful mamas to be honored today, this week, and always as mothers.⠀ ⠀ Let's spread awareness about our experiences, educate our friends and family on how they can better support us, and bring about change for the future. ⠀ ⠀ With love, Kiley Hanish⠀ ⠀ #MothersDay #noshame #perinatalloss #babyloss #infantdeath #healingafterloss #hope #hoperestored #hopeafterloss #returntozero #stillborn #infantloss #babylosssupport #RTZ #bereavedmother #bereavedparents #grievingmother #loss #momsmatter#maternalmentalhealth⠀ ⠀ Stunning artwork by @SamanthaJHahn and @ihadamiscarriage.

As Mental Health Awareness Month wraps up, I just want to say “hi, I see you”. After having this little ham I had PPA and PPD. No, not the baby blues - PPD. It was ugly. While it’s a million times better, I’ll never be the person I was before I experienced it. And I do still struggle, just not as much. So, if your struggles came after kids, were there before kids, or if you were just born that way - you’re not alone. Do what you need to do to get better, to find help, to take your life back. There is no shame in doing what you have to do. ❤️❤️ • • • • #motherhoodintheraw #motherhoodinspired #motherhoodrising #mtjulietmom #nashvillemom #nashvilleblogger #ppd #ppa #postpartumdepression #postpartumjourney #mentalhealthawareness #momsmatter
