13 May


Mother's Day.
This year I spent Mother's day with my Mom (but not my kids).  AS I was driving in the car.....I found this. 

And when we were riding home, Kevin and I talked ALOT about parenting.  We learned so much about observing others parent and getting some time away to really think about the bigger picture.  Conclusion: teaching them on how to "do good", not necessarily "be good".  There are about as many unique ways to be a parent as there are people in this world.  Being completely present, really looking into their eyes and listening,  is so much more important than being perfect. It's about turning the "have tos" into the "get tos".   For you my children, that is my promise.  I am so glad to have Motherhood, my children and My Mom for this time in my life.  Laundry piles , messes, meltodowns and all.  So completely blessed.
