Mommy Mission

I got this African Daisy for Mother's Day.

I am loving the Mommy Mission.

Being a Mommy is hard and trying, sometimes I am so tired it is hard to keep up, but I learn new lessons everyday, and it is the most inspiring and rewarding experience there is. Nurturing both my son and my daughter is the happiest and illuminating of lives I could live. I am one lucky girl to be what I always wanted to be. And to be married to a man that supports and encourages every step I take on this path through motherhood.

Thanks Connor.

For making me a sword fighting, bubble chasing, splash bath giving, dino roaring, "Super Why" dancing, fruit snack munching, boy chasing Mommy.

Thanks Bella.

For making me a nose kissing, whisper wishing, pink buying, sleep watching, giggle entrancing, bow obsessing, worst cry ever fretting Mommy.

My Mom taught me the truth about motherhood. It can be silly. It can be messy. It can be noisy. And it can always be happy. It can be what you make it. So even though my dishes aren't done or the wash is hanging about playing with my two littles and watching them grow is what makes motherhood the greatest gift I could have. There are too many out there that take their time with their children for granted.

“Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. The mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child's mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world.” David McKay

So Thanks Mom for making me the Mom I am today.
Just the other day you said, while viewing us on skype, "It is so amazing seeing you being what you always wanted to be, from when you were little playing with dolls to now."
It is amazing and I love it, every minute. Even the hard ones when their screaming and I feel like crying. Because those days always end in hugs and sleep snuggles, and much needed back massages from a loving husband that cares for his family above anything else.
