There are some mom mantras that tend to get stuck in your head, and you begin to dwell on these. You know, the time you had that total Mom fail or that time you screamed at the kids the entire day.Those times you lost your patience and didn’t care if the kids cried it out that one night.

To succeed in motherhood, you need to learn to get past these, you need to learn to accept these learning experiences and to give yourself a few mom mantras that are going to be good for your soul.
