You can do it! Even during the bad days, the busy and frazzled mothers can work through the self doubt, and find hope in the unpredictability of every day life! It's all about realizing that having a "perfect brightness of hope" can help us be "perfect" today and now, instead of wishing for it for tomorrow.
