Mother’s Day just passed, and we enjoyed the day celebrating our moms and I felt so loved and appreciated by my own 2 (thanks to lots of help and prompting from my husband). I also read and heard lots of things about how amazing moms are, how to be the best mom, and more! It got me thinking about some of my favorite things about being a mom. I decided to sit and jot down a few of my favorite things about being a mom, and while my list was so incredibly long with both big and little blessings, I want to share a few of my favorites, in random order!
-
- All the love! There is just nothing quite like the hugs, kisses, snuggles, and “I love yous” from your little ones! I love when one of them still will climb up on my lap and fall asleep, and there is nothing like hearing them say I love you, momma with a bug hug to go with it!
2. They say some pretty funny things. I have always thought kids were pretty hilarious! They come up with some of the cutest, funniest things! As an aunt and as a teacher I always had a good laugh at the things kids would say. Now, however, I think I could write a book from the daily conversations! Talking to my kids is really one of my favorite things, especially when they add a little humor to the conversation.
3. Gaining a mom tribe. While close friends are something I’ve had and maintained at every stage of life, being a mom along side friends is something so unique! There’s just something pretty amazing about doing this motherhood thing alongside old friends, new friends, and even people who you just meet! Fellow moms have your back and offer advice and understanding in a way unique to any other friendship I’ve experienced.
4. Raising kids with my better half. While having kids definitely brings changes into a home, I love the opportunity we have to raise our little ones together! Some days we don’t see things exactly the same, but I love working together to do our best to love and teach our 2 kids! Watching my husband become a dad and now be a dad to our kids is one of the best things!
5. Watching them learn and grow! I’ve only been a mom for a short time, but watching my kids grow and change is amazing! I love how they are constantly learning and exploring and soaking everything in! And when I see how fast they are changing, I try not to feel sad, but to be happy that every new stage brings something new and the growing and change is all part of what we want for our kids as we raise them be the best they can be!
What are your favorite things about being a mom?
