Mother's Day

I've grown to love it, but it's been a journey for me.
When I was a younger mom, Mother's Day was the day I felt guilt for all the moments in motherhood that I had botched to that point. I would focus on my moments of anger, frustration or lashing out with impatience while my kids were trying to make me feel like a queen. My mistake was that I was selfishly focused on my own reality and expectation rather than allowing the love to flow. My favorite part of Mother's Day is that from a child's perspective we get to pause and focus on the beauty that is motherhood, and that my kids are enthusiastic about it. Bring on the breakfast in bed and the homemade cards...

I love my kids and being a mother is my favorite job.

Happy Mother's Day!
