Happy Belated Mother's Day!

Saturday was my day to post as Seanna, Tanesha and I are rotating days as bloggers. Saturday came and left as I was busy enjoying the sun and my family.

I wanted to write about Mother's Day and what it means to me but it passed me by. For Mother's Day this year I got a cute little home-made book from Ben which page by page tells me what he likes about me and special things we like to do together. He also made me a beaded bracelet and planted a sunflower plant into a small, decorated pot.

It's really special to be someones Mom. To be the one to kiss boo boos and snuggle them to sleep. To be the one to help with homework, cheer them on during T-Ball games and to make cupcakes on demand for Cupcake Day at school. I am grateful to both of my kids for teaching me to slow down, to exude more warmth and enjoy the small things. Every day is different, some are good and some have challenges that I get to learn from. I have done things I'm proud of in parenting and some that I'm not. I have reacted poorly to tempter tantrums and I've had a few myself. But the good thing is that I get to try again, they forgive and they love me unconditionally. This is something that I have learned from them. So to me, Mother's Day isn't about me but it's about them and how lucky I am to be part of this club of women. Thank you Ben and Matthew. I love you both more than I could ever express.
