Being a mom is _________. So many different words could be used to fill in the blank, it just depends on whom you ask and what is going on that very moment. In one single day, a mom (or parent) typically goes through a whole range of emotions...
One day (or minute) can be perfect - the kiddos are smiling, happy, making good choices and doing exactly what you ask of them, and then, usually without notice, it all goes downhill... the cute little cherubs turn into cranky, whiny, messy, little people that won't listen for anything. I am confident that every mom experiences these ups and downs. But no matter what, the reward of unconditional love, little giggles and giant hugs and kisses outweigh all of the "not-so-great" moments that come with motherhood. It takes just one glance into those innocent little kid eyes to make most people melt and forget everything else... and those are the moments I will remember and cherish forever!
On Mother's Day this year, I encourage you to spend time with your loved ones (in a safe social distancing way) and soak in all of the moments that will soon be memories. Enjoy time with your family and put aside all of your daily chores and mommy duties (as much as possible), if they don't get done, there is always tomorrow. How will you be celebrating Mother's Day?
