Mommin’ - not for the faint of heart

Who would have thought?

When I first had the idea to start a blog, I knew I wanted it to be a motherhood related blog. As a mother, my kids are my life. Everything I do, I do either for them or with them in mind. Well truth be told, I’m also starting to do things for me because the further I get in to my mothering career the more important I realize that is. But the point is, I knew writing about motherhood would come naturally to me.. or so I thought.

I knew I wanted to share about the real life parts of motherhood. The less than glamourous parts. The hard, ifeellikeiamgoingtobreak parts, but I also didn’t want to focus on the negative, putting this awful light on being a mom likes it’s unbearably hard with no moments of light. Because that is absolutely not true.

Yes, motherhood is damn hard. Yes there are lots of moments where I feel like I am not strong enough to carry on. Yes it will test every aspect of you.

But oh my goodness, all those other moments. That is what it is all about. Those smiles and laughs. When they walk in to a room and look for you and their eyes light up. When they finally figure out something they’ve been working on-which could be anything from crawling and walking, learning to say their s’s, cutting in a straight line, or getting dressed on their own. When they figure it out and you feel so proud you can’t stop smiling. And when the proudness beams out of them and they cannot wait to show you. Or when you look at them and feel the love you have for them, it’s so intense that you literally feel like your heart is going to burst.

Yes, I thought writing about motherhood would come naturally to me and it hasn’t, but motherhood in itself has, and that is where I am going to start!
