rest up, butter cup

If you’re not feeling it, drop what you’re doing and rest up buttercup.

I had plans to go Christmas shopping yesterday, with a long list of errands to tackle. But I’ve been feeling off-centered and ungrounded lately, still recovering from a lingering cough. And now, my 9-year-old isn’t feeling well either.

So instead of pushing myself to check all the boxes and keep up with the holiday hustle, I paused.

I chose to re-center.
To ground myself.
To just be.

And I have no regrets.

This is a gentle reminder, from one mama to another: You don’t have to do all the things that are expected of you. You are already doing enough. You are enough.

If all you and your little one(s) need right now is space to rest, cuddle, and just love on each other, that’s more than enough. Let that be what truly matters this season.

How are you holding up this season? Please share with someone you know that might need this reminder 🫶

Sending so much love and healing vibes✨💖✨xoxo-dez
