Ah, New Year’s resolutions—the time of year when we vow to be better, stronger, and more organized than ever before. We tell ourselves, "This year, I’ll finally get it together!" But, let’s be real—mom life doesn’t exactly leave room for that kind of perfection. So, instead of setting yourself up for failure with unrealistic resolutions, we’re embracing a non-resolution this year: just survive, laugh, and enjoy the ride.

1. Stop Chasing Perfection

This year, let’s leave perfectionism at the door. Whether it's your toddler's mess, the dishes piling up, or the endless laundry, it's okay. Moms, we spend so much time trying to keep everything perfect, but the truth is: there is no perfect. So, let’s aim for progress, not perfection. And remember, every day isn’t going to be a 10/10. That’s okay! Some days are 7/10, and others might just be a solid 3. But hey, you’re doing great regardless.

2. Self-Care Isn’t Selfish (Even If It’s Just 5 Minutes)

Self-care is essential, and let’s face it: as moms, we often forget ourselves. This year, instead of making huge promises to do yoga for an hour every day (we both know that’s not happening), let’s make small moments of self-care a priority. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee when you can, locking yourself in the bathroom for 5 minutes, or finally watching that show everyone’s been talking about—take the moments you can and embrace the little acts of self-love. Your mental health matters just as much as the chaos you juggle daily.

3. Laugh at the Chaos (It’s All Part of the Adventure)

Parenting is chaotic. Some days are wild—but here’s the secret: laughing through the madness makes it easier. Embrace the chaos and find humor in the mess. From spilled milk to toddler tantrums, there’s always something to laugh about. Don’t let the small stuff get to you—because one day, you’ll look back and think, “Wow, that was a mess, but we survived and laughed through it!”

4. Let Go of Mom Guilt

This year, let’s drop the guilt. Whether it’s feeling like you’re not doing enough, or that you’re not spending enough quality time, let go of those expectations. You’re doing your best, and that’s all that matters. You don’t have to be perfect—and you sure as heck don’t need to feel guilty about taking a break when you need one. Mom guilt? It’s time to say goodbye.

5. Remember, You’re Not Alone

We often feel like we’re the only ones struggling with the mess and chaos of parenting, but the truth is: we’re all in this together. Whether it's texting a fellow mom about your latest meltdown or sharing a funny meme about the struggles of bedtime, know that you are not alone. So, let’s make a promise to each other: this year, we’ll reach out, support one another, and find the humor in the chaos together.

So, this year, let’s make a non-resolution together. Forget about perfection. Embrace the mess. Laugh through the chaos. And most importantly, take care of yourself. Because if you feel good, you’ll bring your A-game to motherhood—flaws and all.
