So I’ve been searching for social media pages to help me feel better about my life of being a mom because I feel like everything I ever see is perfect moms with cleans kids, clean houses, fashionable outfits, and moms with hair and makeup done. I was feeling depressed and inadequate. I found one on Instagram called the.real.moms.of.insta and it not only makes me laugh, but reminds me I am normal!
