Remember when life's worst disappointment was when your parent's forgot to take you to the park after they promised?
Remember when "growing food" was a good thing?
Remember when a catastrophe could be summed up as dropping your ice cream cone, scoop-side down?
Remember when the most sinister thing you could conjure was the 'boogey man?'
Remember when you were cool because your momma told you so?
Remember when all you had to do in the bathtub was splash around while somebody else scrubbed you down and rinsed you off?
Remember when your biggest worry in life was whenever 'your father got home?'
Remember when there was nothing as simply wonderful as the mention of your next birthday?
Remember when Christmas morning was sugar-plum fairies and candy canes, not credit cards and choking hazards?
Remember when a $2 clearance back pack was all it took to make your mom the coolest cat around?
I am so blessed! These are not distant memories for me. They are everyday occurrences.
I love, love, love being a mommy! It's a second chance at savoring everything!

I'm so glad that you have chosen to love motherhood. There are so many joys and sorrows to be found in any chapter in our lives and choosing to love the chapter we are in, makes life worth living. PS I love being a mommy, too.
you're a way cool momma ;)
unfortnately, the older the kids get, the less their "cool stuff" goes on $2.00 clearance! It's more like $25.00 clearance(specifically video games)!!! lol
.....and what a wonderful mommy you are. I can tell you really love your children by how happy and creative they are. Yes you are blessed and they will remember every memory you make with them.
Where are all the funny occurences? You have to better than this about putting funny stories up for me! How can I be a good aunt if you don't tell me what they are 'really' up to? How will I know if what I teach them when I'm there has really taken hold?
