A Mother's Day Wish List
hint-hint
Here’s a little round up of all my favorite things this Mother’s Day. (For all details and links to resources, visit my SHOP page.)
And, for a sappy pre-Mother’s Day post, keep reading…
Mother’s Day is always sentimental to me.
I remember when all I ever wanted to be called was “MAMA”. For fourteen long years I waited to hear those words.
These days I hear it from my little blessings ALL THE TIME. “Mama, what are we eating?” “Mama, where are you?”(I hear from the bathroom door) “Mama, where are my shoes?” “Mama, I need help.” “Mama, I'm ready for you to tuck me in.”
I have been told that being a mother is the hardest but most rewarding thing you will ever do in life. I agree. The calling, although it may be exhausting at times(shout-out to all the quarantine moms) is always rewarded abundantly.
Just when you think you are at the end of your rope, those twinkling eyes and sweet little arms know exactly how to win you over. With the best squeeze, they unexpectedly whisper “Mama, I love you.” And for that moment, I pause and everything feels wonderful in the world.
So, to all the MOMS - the mamas, the future moms, the almost moms, the birth mothers, the adoptive mamas, the grandmothers, the step-moms, the aunts, the nannies… (because it truly takes a village)
Cheers to you! May your day be full of peace and joy and hope and laughter.
