Could you use some words of encouragement on your journey as a mom?
Mama’s, you are doing a great job!
Let’s build each other up, not tear each other down!
All mom’s could use some positive affirmations reassuring them they are not alone…
Had a tough day?
Kids not listening to you?
Feeling overwhelmed?
Experienced a mom fail?
Trust me, we have all been there! Don’t come down too hard on yourself, just shake it off and know that tomorrow is a new day! We all have had mishaps, made mistakes and done things as a parent that we may want to do over or take back. It’s okay, you are human and you make mistakes…not a big deal. Don’t dwell on it, just put on your big girl panties and move on like the amazing mom you are! Haha!!!
We’re all in this Mom Squad together
Let’s face it…Mom’s sometimes need to hear that they are doing a great job, along with some positive words of encouragement. We all know how it feels to be unsure, uncertain on if we are doing a good job as a mom. Sometimes we doubt ourselves, and it helps to know that there are others out there who know our struggles. Other moms who sometimes forget things, don’t always have things all together, and that feel defeated every once in awhile. Just know that “We’re all in this Mom Squad together“…

Oh boy, did I need this today! These are such great reminders and I think we often lose sight of who we are outside of “mom”. I’ve been feeling this lately and some of these are great reminders that we’re also human. Thanks for the reminder!
What great quotes! I always feel like i’m not doing good enough or wondering, if i had done things differently…. but reading this reminds me that at least Im trying and when I look at my kids, overall I’ve succeeded!
Wow this is so powerful! Thanks for sharing
this is a wonderful quote: 4. “The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.”-Peggy O’Mara

Great post! Sometimes it is a struggle to juggle the stressors in life and to also remember we are just human! It’s amazing how we can help our kids not feel bad about their mistakes or mess-ups BUT we have a really difficult time forgiving ourselves for ours. Thanks for the words of inspiration!
I LOVE this! #12 is my favorite! I’m going to Post It Note some of these up around the house!
Love love LOVE these so much!! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for this. I had one of those days where I felt like I was failing as a mother, there was nothing I could do to make my baby boy happy. He was constantly cranky from the moment he woke up to the moment he went to bed tonight. Nothing I could do to make him smile. So thank you. I needed this today. I look forward to reading more of your inspirational posts.
Oh I needed this! Thank you so much for putting this together. I love women building up other women. Keep it up!
Thank you for the reassuring phrases. It’s very important to have positive affirmations.
These are great sayings. I’m a grandma now and I would have loved to hear some of these sayings when I was raising my kids. They turned out fine though. Mom’s put your kids first and keep each other in your prayers. It’s the toughest job on earth!
Such a good idea. I’ll have to send this to my sister who is a new mom and may need to hear this from time to time.
Love all the affirmations! Much needed, will share with my mommy tribe.
I love these! Thank you!!

We as mamas absolutely need to hear these! I am a firm believer in the power of the words we speak over and to ourselves! When I think of all the negative thoughts and words I have spoken to myself over the years, it breaks my heart! Thank you for this comprehensive list!
#19 is what I strive for!

I love these affirmations, motherhood is a lifetime journey, these affirmations would help during stressful or ‘don’t know what to do’ times during this journey. Thank you for this, to me, it’s like a gift.
These are wonderful quotes! #16 is really resonating with me today – “Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you never knew existed. As a mom of 3 – 20 somethings the issues get bigger as the kids get older, the fears are real. I continue to work on myself as life’s challenges are ever-present and ever changing.
These are perfect! So many of these resonate with me as a mom
Oh these are so powerful! Number really made me think.. thank you for putting these together, I enjoyed it so much!
I REALLY needed this blog post – so thank you! Today was a hard day, but I’m going to bed with a clear mind thanks to these affirmations:)
I love quote #7. There are many different ways to be a good a mom.
“Bad moments don’t make you a bad mom” is my favorite. This is so true.
Love this! Just when I need the affirmations as a mom. So glad I happen into this post.
