For the longest time, I felt so guilty for not being fully present when I was playing with them. I mean I do still have those moments when I truly lock in and enjoy playing, and I wish I could access those moments more easily. But I decided to stop forcing myself to always stay on top of play.

Inviting your kids into your world and making them part of the things you genuinely enjoy can also be such a beautiful way to bond and connect.❤️ A little reminder…don’t be hard on yourself #motherhood #thoughts
