In Honor of Mother's Day: 11 Inspirational Quotes for New Moms

Motherhood is the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done; every so often I’ll look at my kids and have this incredible feeling of awe. That being said, I have my bad days! We all do. And to believe the journey of parenthood will be perfect is unrealistic (to say the least). Still—moms are pretty incredible. If you haven’t heard that recently, I’m telling you now. Give yourself a pat on the back, because mama, you’re getting it done. Despite the sleepless nights, the messy house, and the burnt dinners. I know you’re working, and trying (sometimes through laughter, sometimes through tears). And I love you all for it.

In honor of Mother’s day, I put together some of my favorite inspirational quotes for new moms (and, quite frankly, more experienced ones too!). If you’re having a bad day, a good one, or even just feeling so-so, take a look at what I’ve collected. These words inspire me, uplift my spirit, and encourage me to keep plugging in the journey that is motherhood. I hope they help make your Mother's Day special.

Here’s to all of you—you motivate and impress me every single day! xo
