This was supposed to have gone live HOURS ago, but we’re late (as usual for me). At least we are a team! Anyway, better late than never, here are our freshly made contributions to the Sunshine Girls (and Guy!) Mother’s Day Freebie Collab!
Enjoy!
Happy Mother’s Day!!
I know it’s early, but everyone who is a Mother can vouch you have to plan ahead. I have 2 kids and have to say being a Mother has been the hardest, most rewarding, most frustrating job ever! I think everyone who survives the first year deserves a medal!!
As I think about the Mothers who have influenced my life, I am thankful for each and every woman. Those who are contemplating becoming a mom and those who are watching their great-grandbabies reach milestones.
Recently I had the experience of sharing my son’s first birthday with my grandmother’s 79th birthday. What a special day as I looked back on my grandmother who has nurtured me, taught me many things, and always was there to spoil me, then how she is now fostering the next generation.
I know as a SAHM, I get caught up in naps, diaper changes, kids coloring on the wall and force feeding their younger siblings mud pies. Some days I wish I could get a performance review from the boss, but for now I get sloppy kisses from my one year old (still doesn’t have the close your mouth thing), and big hugs from my two year old who thinks she can only blow kisses!
To every Mom who has held a child, loved a child, lost a child, and yearned for a child… this is your day!! Thank you so much for being you and being selfless enough to put your children ahead of yourselves!!!!!!!!!
