I never really thought I wanted to be a Mother until I became a Mother. After that moment of giving birth, I knew that being a Mother was one the most wonderful, if not the greatest, gifts I could ever be blessed with. Sure, Motherhood is hard, stressful at times, painful, and comes with so much responsibility but all those things pale in comparison to the unconditional love, hugs, fun, laughter, clarity and kisses your children give you as their Mother.

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, my sisters, my mother in law, and all my mommy friends in cyberspace. You are all so special and such wonderful Mothers. I heart all of you! And for a trip down memory lane, here is last year’s Mother’s Day Tribute to the Moms In My Life.
