Mothers Day 2018

I always love Mothers Day as it is a chance for me to reflect not only on my children but also on the wonderful women in my life (past and present). I come from a long line of strong women and I feel so honored to be part of them. My own mother has been nothing but loving and supportive my whole life and I have no doubt she will continue to be so.

I only hope I can be a good mother to my own children. These past months have been hard and I find myself falling very short. So often my inpactience and temper get the better. Yet my children are nothing but understanding and forgiving and every morning, despite the hard night, they wake up happy to see me. They hug me and love me even with all my flaws. It is humbling to be their mom and partake in all their goodness.

I adore their sweet voices, constant chatter, thousands of questions, funny words, and good night hugs. My favorite time with them is right before bed when we read and chat about our day. Jack is so sweet and hugs me tight around my neck and tells me how much he loves me. The other night he wanted me to help him find the moon and we took a quick peak outside to see it high in the sky. I loved it. Scarlett and Alice will chat about their friends and things they are worried about. Then they all go to sleep, which is wonderful. Motherhood breaks you down and then somehow builds you up. It truly is a magical and amazing calling.
