Mothering

Mother's Day is just a few short weeks away.
Shutterfly is working with bloggers to help celebrate moms!
***************
How do we sum up motherhood? Being a {mostly!} mom's group, we know this topic is very close to our hearts. Many of us exchanged promising careers to instead spend our days wiping noses, changing diapers, filling sippy cups, teaching manners and obedience, planning playdates and a myriad of tasks to numerous to name. Others of us still spend many hours at the office or jobfront and, without a chance to put our feet up, come home to the mountains of laundry, dinner to get on the table, and busy little ones who want our undivided attention. Whichever path is yours, the bottom line is that motherhood is the one task that never sleeps, never takes a vacation, never gives you a paycheck or remembers that you're supposed to sleep in on Saturday mornings. :-)
Even as I write this, my 2 year old has climbed over me in every possible way. See a typo? Maybe you can guess why. :-D
But would we trade it for anything?? NEVER in a million years. Nothing could ever take the place of the smiles, the hugs, the cuddles, the "I luv u mom"'s, the pride, the joy, the un-describable emotions that come with everything that is "MOM".

I am so thankful for our Momtourage! It allows me to have conversations with someone older than two, interaction with people who "get it", and a little sanity saver from the same routine. Thanks to our many moms & dads who come to our playdates, bring meals to new mamas, share tips & ideas, and band together under this banner called "motherhood".

Hope you all have a fantastic Mom's Day!
