Mother's Day

I love my children. They make me a better version of myself. They strengthen my weaknesses and give me a higher purpose. My sweet girls and husband are my greatest gifts. It was a wonderful mothers day with a delicious breakfast (all dairy free and not made by me!) and dinner with family. It was simple and sweet and perfect. I feel so lucky to be a mother, their mother, and can not image life without them.

I read these words a couple of weeks ago and feel in love with them. To read the whole story click here

"Motherhood is purpose. No one can fill my shoes as a mother the same way I can. Motherhood is practice. Some days my patience grows short. Sometimes I don’t have the most gracious answers. Sometimes I forget to brush her teeth, but each new day I get to try again.
Motherhood is a sacrifice. Some days I am not sure I can bear. Some days it’s more energy and time than I have. Other days it’s filled with such joy and magic, time stands still and I have the energy to see the world from a toddler’s perspective.
Motherhood is selflessness. It is kindness in its gentlest form. Motherhood is the most important teaching job I will ever have and the most important CEO position I can hold in the most important company I know…my family. Being a mother is happiness and priceless. It is my reason to continue to fight a good fight."
