About Being a Mother

In honor of Mother's Day this past weekend, I put together a list of things I love most about being a Mom. It is truly one of the most rewarding jobs in my life and I'm proud to call those two silly girls my own.

they're always down for a dance party
they think of the most hilarious things to say
they only see the best of you
you can always count on them for movie night
their love is unconditional
they are jealous of your wardrobe even when you are not
when people tell you how polite they are, you know you've done something right
their minds are so creative
you love them unconditionally
you are more active so that can keep up with them
they provide random compliments when you need it most
watching them solve a problem on their own makes you proud
their desire to help everyone is eye opening
watching their minds work is inspiring
they can be entertained with something as simple as an empty box
their fits of giggles makes you smile even on the toughest days
they don't know you don't know what you are doing
they look at the world in a different way and make you question things around you
they ask questions about everything and want to suck up every bit of knowledge
watching them grow is completely rewarding in every way
they are always willing to give you hug when you ask
watching them sleep is perfectly peaceful
their desire to understand the world makes you realize how much you don't know
you can learn new things right along side them
the proud look when you can't answer a homework question but they can
they think you are the best mom ever

To all the mamas and future mamas out there, I hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day.
