Made with buttermilk, cinnamon, sugar, and a few other ingredients, this recipe for Rustic Cinnamon Bread will have you coming back for seconds, maybe even thirds!

A recent conversation with a family friend prompted me to ask the question, “why are we as moms, so hard on ourselves?” I can vividly remember a time in my life when I used to beat myself up for not doing a better job with my children. Anyone ever heard of the popular Mommy Wars? Yeah. I always seemed to be caught in the middle of those at our last base. It made me feel like I wasn’t doing enough for my children and did a HUGE number on my self-esteem.

Now that my kids are older, I still feel this way, only on a smaller scale. For example, if my kids are sick, I say to myself, “I should have made sure they washed their hands more.” If my kids get hurt, I say to myself, “I should have kept a closer eye out on them.”

Despite the pep talks from Husband Man, doubts always have a tendency to creep around in the corners of my mind. I wish I had an answer for all of it, but I don’t. I just know it has to stop!

I’m putting out a call to all the moms who read this blog….stop being so hard on yourselves when it comes to your children! None of us are perfect. Little Ms. Suzie Homemaker across the street is not perfect, even though she may give off the impression that she is. Little Ms. Corporate America isn’t perfect, even though she may give off the impression that she is.

We are not all supermoms. And ya know what?

It’s ok.

Learn to take a deep breathe…and let go.

Oh…and try this rustic cinnamon bread recipe too…

One bite of this bread and it will literally make you feel like you are supermom and that you can handle everything.

Pinky Promise 😉
