I’m four weeks postpartum with my third baby and have been reciting the mantra, “I accept all offers of help!” over and over again when people bring meals and snacks and take my son to playgroup… I feel lazy and guilty for being lazy (even though I’m recovering from a c-section), but I have thought of this essay so many times in this season! I read it years ago, so what a delight to see it here today 💛💛💛
