Motherhood is a great adventure, it is so exhilarating, but it is also freaken hard. It pulls and stretches your to a place you never thought you would go. It changed everything, but it adds so much more.
I have always dreamt of becoming a mama, but nothing could have prepared me for for the deep and fierce love I would feel for the little beings birthed from m body. I never really realized just how much love could hurt, and how deeply it would change me.
The truth is motherhood is hard. It pulls on your heartstrings, it is exhausting, emotionally draining at times, and it pushes your to your limits. But you learn to draw in from the beauty, and to lean on it.
I am thankful for theses two....
They continue to teach me forgiveness, to challenge me to change (for the better), to find the beauty in the unexpected, to open my heart a little wider, to love more deeply, and to embrace new challenges daily.
I am thankful.
I am so thankful for my mama. She is amazing. She has taught me so much about life (and she probably doesn't even realize it.) It took me becoming a momma to fully grasp all the sacrifices she made for my brother and I. Today and I am so happy that she is one of my best friends in this world, that I can call on her anytime when my heart hurts, when I am frustrated, when I am scared, when I am lonely, when I feel hurt. Thank you momma, for all your love and support (and adventures all over the world) through the years. You are a treasure. I love you so much....
My Mother's Day was filled with love, appreciation, and good food. We had a quiet day at home, with Nate's parents, as we are preparing for our big yearly vacation (we leave tomorrow.)
A lovely cup of tea and cards from my little ones to start off the day.
Breakfast brought to you by Ian & Hayleigh.
Some serious lego building...
Soaking up some sunshine, and playing in the mud.
and more delicious food....
So happy Mother's Day to my mom, and your mom, and all moms. And you. And me!
