Happy Mothers Day

this mom game.

it's good stuff. 

it's giggles and laughs. smiles and silliness. i love yous and ice cream. rainbows and sunshine. 

it's hard and challenging too. laundry and dishes. groceries and cleaning. squabbles and tears. 

it's one great adventure. learning along the way. stretching you and taking you to places you never thought possible. 

one great gift. 

it is hard to put into words, how I feel about being a mom. 

its what I was meant to do.

it fills my heart. 

and I love it. 

the quiet moments. the crazy moments the funny moments. the i want to pull my hair out moments.

the moment where your 8 year old tells the nurse that your one year old eats vitamins off the floor.

all of it.

it is a gift i do not take for granted.

God chose these four sweet souls for me to mother. 

and for that I am truly and deeply grateful. 

i think being a mom is best done with people by your side. 

i am so very thankful to have others to walk this mom journey with me.

it does take a village. 

i am thankful for my village. all those who love me and support me. who love my kids and support them. the words of encouragement. the shared stories. tears and laughs. the car rides. the conversations. watching and caring for my kids. cheering them on. cheering me on. play dates and pool outings. those near and those who are far. loving us at our worst and at our best. being there for us. for my family.

my mom. cheryl. my sister, emily. shanna. tina. my mom friends. my daycare provider. my stay at home mom friends. my working mom friends. all of you. you know who you are. i am thankful for all of you.

happy mothers day.
