Confidence Within:  Mothers and Daughters Learning From Each Other 

My 5-year-old daughter, Mickey, shares her voice and claims her rightful space. She is her own person, and her confidence within has changed my life.  

To try and mold her to be who I think she should be is wrong.  She has a right to be herself.  

She is not a reflection of me and to treat her as such is projecting my own insecurities onto her.   

When I feel challenged or fearful of finding my confidence within, I think, “WWMD?”  What would Mickey do? Undoubtedly, she would be true to herself and remain persistent.  

Her confidence within is my inspiration. 

Check out the mom self-love journal on Amazon.   When moms take those few minutes each day to practice self-love, it allows us to love others at our best.   

Getting to Know You: The Family Journal and Game to learn more about your family and record the fun memories. Now available on Amazon!  

A Day In The Life Of A Stay-At-Home Mom journal provides 2 pages for each day. Completing the reverse to-do list is the perfect reminder of all you accomplish in a single day. Most importantly, it will reflect the unmeasurable value you bring to your family.

It will prove the dedication required to be a stay-at-home mom to the misinformed.
