I Think Mom is Stoned

So I think it's safe to say, if you're a mama, this blog's for you . We've all been there. You wake up absolutely exhausted like you haven't had a good night's rest for the past decade or so. You look at your phone and you realize you have no missed calls or messages. Everyone in your life seems to be speeding past you and you're just sitting there, wondering what happened during the whirlwind of that first positive pregnancy test, to the first day of your child's 3rd grade year.

Momming can be a lot. And honestly, if anyone we're to ask, it's not a job for the weak. Your patience is tested, your list of things to do are more full than your energy battery and it can sometimes be isolating. Seriously, what's expected from us on the daily, surpasses any job I've ever had in my life. Don't get me wrong, being a mother has blessed me in more ways than I can imagine and I have never been more grateful. My little one has taught me fearlessness, gentleness, kindness, strength and...well patience. Despite how much we adore our little ones (or big ones), us mama's need a moment too. We need a moment to be unapologetically us. Messy hair, sweatpants (or no pants) and no make-up.

We deserve a quiet day, just filled with self-love, rather then the countless tabs opened in our mind. This is where mother nature comes to the rescue. Lucky for us, we have access to this pretty little flower, that can give us just that. That flower is the cannabis flower. Cannabis has been around for ages and it's been used for medicinal purposes and recreational purposes for longer than I think we even realize, yes even our beloved Shakespeare used to enjoy her a bit, from time to time.

Cannabis can help with a lot of the anxiety and stress that can come from momming too hard. It can also help with focus, productivity and motivation which is fundamental in being a mother. It can even aid in the managing of chronic pains or sleep issues we may come across throughout our journey. The best part is, that cannabis comes in many forms. There's edibles and THC infused drinks, for you foodies, vape carts, if that's your style, tinctures (for all those discreet mamas), pre-rolls for the busy mamas or the classic bud/flower itself, that you either pack into a bowl or roll into a joint or blunt. The possibilities are endless with nature's favorite green.

Here at Athena's Gifts, located in The District, we have it all. The tinctures, the flowers, the pre-rolls, the edibles, spiked drinks and the vape carts. Just give our menu a glance and see how you can donate to get gifted. We are very familiar with the art of momming, so we understand all the things you may find hard to connect with others about. We're here, and us babes are here to support you babes, throughout whatever mom journey your experiencing.
