How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Power Of Being A Mom

in Family on 05/14/17

How do you sum up all that is Mom?

Keeper of the cookies, and the peace.

Multi-tasker extraordinaire.

We wear all the hats, we are all things.  A chauffeur, a chef, a cleaner, an errand girl, a tutor, a therapist, a photographer, a cheerleader, a top level negotiator, a playmate, a nurse, a teacher, a friend, and a confident to name a few.

Somehow, this just does not begin to adequately describe all that is Mom.

Moms can be glamorous, sporty, refined, stressed, content, or silly as required. We are ever flexible, fluid as a matter of necessity.

We are the one’s cheering the loudest at every little league game, dance competition, volleyball match or even Spelling B.

Nobody’s prouder than a Mom.

We are the one you can run to when your heart is broken.  When you hurt, our hearts ache.

We are the one’s offering advice, even if you don’t want to hear it.  Sometimes, we’re even right.

We are the safe, reliable, warm hug you can count on when you need it at the end of the day.

Moms are the one’s who will love you the longest, and the hardest.

Moms, they have to be a little bit of everything.

As a Mom, I look at the world in a different way.

I know that every moment must be cherished.

Every day is a new reason to celebrate.

I’ve never been happier, more frightened, prouder and more humbled by your power and your beauty.

I’m amazed by your potential, your capacity to learn, to love, your kindness, your heart.

Now that I am a Mom, I strive to be a better daughter.

I am more thankful for my relationship with my Husband then ever before.

Before I was a Mom, I didn’t know what a true gift Motherhood is.

I’m so glad I get to be your Mom.

There is fierce power in being a Mom, and I am forever thankful for this gift.

It’s all I need for Mother’s Day.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the fierce Mama’s out there.  Biggest hugs to all for taking on the most difficult, wonderful, amazing job  in the entire world.  Know that even on the hardest of days, you are blessed, needed and loved.

      My mother is my world and she’s done more for me than most moms out there but no matter what I know there’s no better person in the world than my Mom.

      Agree 🙂 being a mom is a privilege and I must say didn’t really understand the love you can have for someone else until I had my 2 daughters and let me say I would do anything for my family and now I understand unconditional love and its huge 🙂 They are the best daughters a mom can ask for and proud of them both 🙂 Hope you had a great Mothers Day muaaaaaaaaa

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
