    I needed this reminder today…thanks! If nothing else, at least those not-easy are learning experiences. :)

    Jess, I LOVE this! I tend to assume that everything is so much easier for other people. Whether that’s true or not doesn’t even matter.

    What matters, as you wisely said, is that it’s worthwhile. That’s the key. These are such important words to live by!

    I actually pinned this quote to my board “quotes to live by.” :)

    As always, thanks so much for the inspiration!!

    I needed to hear this today… motherhood is kicking my butt lately and I need to remember that it’s not easy but it is worth it. Of course I love my kids. They just drive me nuts some days! :)

    [...] this quote is truly a quote to live by. we often think that things should be super easy — especially that it’s super easy for others. just not us. i’m queen of this kind of (erroneous) thinking, and it can be paralyzing. [...]
