Mommy's Life: Being a mom*

"To the world you are a Mom, 

but to your children you are the world" 

When you are a Mom...

You are a cheerleader: on the sidelines of their sports fields, at their school performances, when they ride their bike for the first time, when they make art using their fingers as paint brushes, when they have their first crush, when they walk across the stage at graduation, when they say "I do" to the love of their life, when they become parents for the first time. 

You are a band-aid: for the scrapes, bumps and bruises that come with being little, for the first heart break, for the tearful nights that come with first time parenting, for the hard moments that end in goodbye. 

You are a warrior: who protects your little ones from the evil of this world, who sticks up to the bullies, who walks the hard path of having to say no when your teenager wants to attend that party, who stands strong in the face of trials. 

You are a counselor: who eases your child's fears, who gives advice for the big and small challenges, who holds their hand and the pieces of the heart when they feel like they've lost hope, who guides them through this journey, who lets them spread their wings and fly away on their own.  

You are a teacher: of life, of love, of patience, of kindness, of honesty, of obedience, of respect, of manners, of integrity, of forgiveness, of ambition, of faith, of friendship, of family. 


You are the world: there's no greater blessing than being a MOM ♥
