Motherhood: It’s a steep learning curve but the rewards make it more than worth it. We had some of our moms in Pepper Place share what motherhood has taught them this Mother’s Day.

Being a mom has taught me that there isn’t a problem we can’t solve if we work together.

From Emily Tincher, Studio Manager of Aero Joe
Motherhood has taught me to let go…let go of the need to have a spotless house. Let go of the need to be early to everything. Let go of being in the best physical shape of my life. By letting go, I get the chance to embrace and enjoy more time with my little family!

From Alison Page, Owner of Aero Joe Pilates:
Motherhood has taught me the patience to be more “in the moment.” Everything seems to take longer from the start — getting ready for the day or piling into the car. My 6 yr old will take 5-minutes just to put on socks. Anyone else? I have learned it’s in those little moments that we can really connect, if we let ourselves. It goes so fast. Those small moments day-to-day where our kids require us to slow down. Those can be a gift.
