I love this book. It helps me forget the stresses and remember the joys of raising children. Very friendly advice that I need sometimes. I’m going to talk about a chapter on here every so often.
Let’s start out with CHAPTER 1~ Defining Mother
*A mother is a lot of things~ teacher, caregiver, nurse, scientist, artist, chef, coach, chauffeur and sometimes even the father. I can name even more hats I wear on a day to day basis. I need a SUPERMOM shirt!
*A mother is compassionate, strong, independent, loving, nurturing, and resilient. We are not always a saint though but we try!
*There is no formal training and we begin our duty the moment we become pregnant. No official rulebook or any set instructions. We learn from trial and error. We are always on active duty. A mother’s work is never done! Isn’t that the truth! I think the only time I breath normal is when everyone is sleeping and it’s quiet.
*Yes, it’s exhausting and no big paycheck at the end of the week. But, the rewards of motherhood are plentiful! When I get that big hug from my 6 yr old son and that “Mommy I love you” from my 3 yr old I just melt.
I really enjoy being a mom. My two little bugs bring me joy everyday. They are the reasons I get out of bed every morning. Can I blame them for the 2 cups of coffee too? LOL!
