The 5 letters I would have written myself - but someone beat me to it

Boy, oh boy!

This motherhood gig is one wild ride, huh?

And no matter what I tell myself, there's absolutely nothing that could have prepared me for it.

Except, maybe, perhaps... My future self having a word or two with me about a couple of things.

So that got me thinking about my current self (who, in the previous sentence is 'my future self' - just bear with me) and what I'd tell my past self.

And then that thinking, led to some clicking, and - of course! - the internet already had my thoughts plastered all over it.

So here are 5 perfectly written letters from various mothers that I totally would have written myself - but chose to share their wise words instead...

• "A Letter To My Pregnant, Child-Less Self…" by Kelly Claire
• "A Letter from a Working Mother to a Stay-At-Home Mother, and vice versa" by Dr Carolyn Ee
• "A letter to my past, one child-self: you've got this" by Celeste
• "I'm sorry about the toddler" by Tiarne Straatman
• "I'm sorry about the newborn" by Tiarne Straatman

If, like me, you feel they've absolutely nailed it with their wisdom, don't forget to drop them a line and tell them they rock.
