HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY!

Happy Mothers’ Day to all you Mamas! There are many days when our role is beyond exhausting and we need to take a beat to lock ourselves in the pantry to sneak some sweet snacks for fuel. But on this day, I hope it was somewhat relaxing and you are reminded of all the joyful times from being a Mom. Now prepare yourself for some sappiness. That’s right. It’s my day and I’ll be sappy if I want to!…

Day1

I love being a Mom. When I was pregnant with Mya, the thought was that I would return to work after maternity leave because I figured staying home everyday with an infant would be boring. But on the day we took Mya home from the hospital and I carried her into her room for the first time, I knew in my heart of hearts that this was what I was meant to do in life.

And you know what? I don’t usually boast or brag, but today I’m just going to say it: “I’m a pretty good Mom.” Yet, I realize I can’t take all the credit. This is not a one woman show. Derek is my best friend and my everyday support system. I feel so incredibly blessed to have a husband that supports my stay-at-home role in all ways. And not just because he brings home the bacon. (Although I do love bacon.) I couldn’t be the Mom that I am without him by my side.

Day2

So on this Mothers’ Day, I hope you can do a few things:
1. Grant yourself some grace.
2. Realize and appreciate the true blessing of motherhood and all the people that help you along the way.
3. Look yourself in the mirror and say, “You know what, I’m a pretty kick ass Mom.” Because you are. You just don’t tell yourself enough.
