Here's a single stem rose for all the amazing Mothers in my life!
Including my own of course :)
Whether you're a future sister n law, mother-in law, cousin, sister n law, or a friend, this is for you!
I would have loved to been able to afford to send this rose to your porch today, but I have so many of you in my life that I couldn't possibly afford it.
I hope this blog post/picture of a rose will suffice
First of all, you are all HUGE examples to me
The way you teach your kids
The way you love your kids
The way you discipline your kids
The way you raise your kids
The way you feed your kids
The way you put your kids first
With every Motherly act you do, I notice, and you might not know it
but you're teaching me.
YOUR example is getting me ready to be a Mother
Whether it's next year, two years from now, or five years from now
The way I mother my children, will be because of the great examples in my life, those great examples are YOU.
Because of you, I'm excited to be a Mother, I can't wait to have kids. I know the struggles through watching you, but I also know how to get through them, because you have. I know that every struggle I will have, most Mothers have gone through the same, and they've lived, and I will too.
Take this day to celebrate
All the times you thought you had failed as a Mother
or the times you thought you failed at being a friend, while trying to be a Mother
The times you thought you didn't give your husband enough love because you give your kids so much
The nights you could finally sleep but stayed up all night worrying about how to be better
Celebrate the times your kids said they hate you, because you know you're doing something right
The times you finally had some alone time, but were too busy wondering what your kids were doing
The whole week you spent dealing with a plague of sickness with every child, and yourself
Those days you turned off your phone, to be with your child
The times you've had to leave work, to take care of your child
The days you were running late, and had to change your clothes twice because of some kind of baby/child bodily fluid
The days you had to change your plans, because you're on your kids time, not your own
All the photos you've captured of your children, you'll never forget those moments
How do I know all this? Because of your stories, and your experiences you've shared with me.
Thank You.
Just celebrate YOU.
You haven't failed, and you never will. You've just gotten better, you might not see it- but I do.
You're a rockstar Mom(s), and because of your example, I'll be a rockstar too.
I'm so grateful for all of you in my life
I love you all!
Happy Mothers Day!
Hug your babies tight today, turn off your phones, and spend time with those who matter most.
