I used to love hosting. Big groups, full house, long nights… it all energized me. Somewhere along the way (hi kids), big gatherings started to feel overwhelming instead. I still love to host big groups, but don’t do it as often and know that when I do, I need to support myself a little differently. Which is what I did for my sons first birthday. I give myself grace and space to take care of me and host in a simplified way that makes it feel manageable. If hosting feels different for you these days, you’re not broken. You’re just in a new season. #ditl #momlife #selfregulation #selfcare #hosting
