How to be a great mom by Holly

"Being a good mom is a job that never ends"

How I did it: My husband pointed out that this one goal is not like the others. "You can never know if you were a good mom, and it takes forever" he argued. Then, "Of course you are a good mom, look at how healthy and happy your son is." 

He's right. Being a mom isn't something that has a magic end date -- even when I die I won't know if I've truly been a great mom. 

So right now, I think I've been a great mom, the best my son could have asked for. I've been puzzled, frustrated and confused at times but I've always done what's best for him and for our family.

I don't want to "give up" on this goal to remove it because being a great mom is like being a moral person, something that is never finished. 

Lessons & tips: Listen to experts, weigh your options, trust yourself.

Love love love love and ask for help when you need it.
