Motherhood is hard. Honestly, it’s rough at times. It’s not all perfect days, frolicking in a garden. There is vomit to clean and kids crapped to their waists. I make mistakes. Sometimes I question my sanity. I wonder how I’m going to get through a simple errand at Target without someone having a major meltdown or how I can clean spilled juice (after I just said please be careful not to spill) for the millionth time at the dinner table. I’ve heard that I am a mean Mom many times. Overall I think I am doing the best I can. I have to remember how it all began, the days I saw their beautiful faces for the first time. Those moments of joy and laughter, the “I love you Mommy” moments that melt my heart. My Three Children are my greatest achievements and creations in my life. Being their Mother has been a journey in my life that I will never ever regret. I realize that I am blessed and I am loved by my children. They are my world and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am thankful for my husband for making me a Mom and always loving me no matter what.

I know I’m lucky and have no room to complain. It is an honor to create life, sustain this little person in your body and bring them into this crazy world. There are many, many woman in this world who have an extreme cross to bear. I commend each and every one of them for having the strength to tackle whatever their situation is. All of us, each one of us is AMAZING. Motherhood is a gift and we should all cherish it. I need to complain less and soak it all in. Really take time to squeeze those little bodies when they are hugging you. Take time to really listen and not wash the dishes while my 9 year old reads out loud. Remember those little moments when my fashionista comments on my new lipstick or necklace. Take a little longer when holding my 1 year old when he’s in my arms, not complain when my arm is going numb, keep holding him on my hip and look at his little leg swing back and forth and see his cute arm hold on to my shoulder.
Those are the moments. They are this way for such a little amount of time. They grow every day and so do we as Mothers. I hope you all were loved, cherished and celebrated yesterday. I received many “Happy Mother’s Day” on Social Media, Texts, phone calls, beautiful cards and gifts from my littles. We had a wonderful time on Fisherman’s Wharf with my Mother, Sister and her family. Here are a few pics from our day, I can’t wait to scrapbook them. I’m thinking about making a mini book.
