Top 10 Reasons That I LOVE Being a MOM

As we enter into the month of May, I can’t help but think about how lucky I am to be a mom! To me, the month of May signifies warmth, beauty, and best of all, Mother’s Day! It is the perfect time of year for all mothers to take inventory of their life and realize how lucky that they are. The relationship that a woman has with her mom molds her into becoming the mother that she is today.

Here are the top ten reasons that I LOVE being a MOM!

1. Going through agonizing labor for hours and bringing a baby into the world is an experience that no one can comprehend until they have done it! The feeling of being solely responsible for bringing another life into the world is the most important event in a woman’s life.

2. Realizing that your hug is the reason that your child’s fears and tears get wiped away instantly, truly makes you realize how important the love for your child really is.

3. Waking up each day and getting that morning snuggle is the absolute best feeling in the world! I never want that special time to go away!

4. Being a positive role model for your child is so important. Our kids want to be just like us! That is the greatest compliment in the world!

5. It is the little things… like when you see yourself through your child’s eyes. I can’t count the number of times my husband turns to me when he’s with my daughter and says…”She’s you”!

6. Having the power to inspire your children to become confident, thoughtful, brave, and caring individuals is the most important job in the world!

7. No matter what is going on in your life with family, friends, or work, you can come home to your children and know that you always have each other. It is an unconditional bond that you can count on.

8. Watching your children’s accomplishments both big and small gives you such pride! Their first words, first steps onto the school bus, learning how to read, first sleepover, scoring a basket for their team, or dancing in their dance recital, I am constantly astonished at how quickly they grow up before my eyes. It all happens so quickly. Make sure to cherish each special moment!

9. Being a mom is not always easy, but it is the one job which you know that you can NEVER quit. Even when you hit some bumps along the way, you know that your children are counting on you. That is what keeps you going!

10. A mommy is a mommy FOREVER! Even when you become a mom yourself, you will always turn to your mom when you need her and know she is ALWAYS there no matter what!

I am so incredibly lucky to be the mom to 3 of the most amazing children in the world! I am forever grateful for the love, support, and guidance that my mother has given to me. It has made me the mother that I am today! Happy Mother’s Day Moms!
