Thoughts on Motherhood

A few things motherhood has taught me.

1.       Motherly love is pure, selfless and unconditional
2.       Not getting a full night sleep is not the end of the world
3.       You can manage a schedule to accomplish anything you want, no excuses you can find or make time
4.       Children watch you to learn how to respond to stress and injuries
5.       Stop and listen to nature or the outside world there are a lot of things we hear with our ears that we never need to see with our eyes
6.       Bodily fluids no longer are gross
7.       There are transcendent moments —when your child walks for the first time or says a new word that is so absolutely breathtaking you cannot believe he is yours—that makes life worth living. These moments are the stuff we were put on this planet to experience.
8.       You are your child’s safety net
9.       Some people say not to hug boys too much. Let’s just put a permanent end to that right here. Hug your kids every chance you get. Squeeze them until they can’t help but notice how much you love them.
10.   It is really important to me to find time to play games, go outside and make memories with my son. I want him to remember his childhood with his mother being involved not as a woman who worked, cleaned, and cooked. I want him to remember the activities we do together and the smile and laughter we share.
