I've been thinking a lot lately about how to be a good mom and which parenting styles work best and all that.Then I realize that even if I knew what perfect parenting looked like, I wouldn't be able to do it. The words of prophets and apostles always make me feel better, though. This snippet was especially encouraging:
"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother... Each mother has
different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly
different children... What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply
and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband,
prioritizes them above all else." Elder M. Russell Ballard
That I can do.

You are going to be such a great mom, Natalli! You couldn't be a bad mom if you tried.
Thanks to me, you've seen many things NOT to do as a parent. It's really hard! I guess we just pray a lot and keep trying to improve! A quote for you: "There's no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one"
