A Dozen Reasons Why I Am Thankful for Being a Mom
I am thankful for being a mom to the sweetest little thing I ever had: my daughter.
… for kissing my flaws thinking that I am perfect;
… for needing my arms as she lays to sleep;
… for laughing while she’s crying as I transform myself into a tickle monster or make some silly jokes;
… for being happy with little things we share;
… for testing the level of my sanity when her endless tantrum begins;
… for reminding me that the daily routines we do together are actually different, and each day I learn from it;
… for training my resistance to patience;
…for teaching me not to be embarrassed when she does something awful in the middle of the crowd because I am a mom and willing to do the right way in the midst of it all;
… for asking me to hug her, which actually means carry her even if she is almost half my weight – because this made me realize as a sweet alternative to dumbbell exercise;
… for helping me dig through my creativity;
… for helping me define unconditional love;
… for totally transforming my life and my heart’s desires that helped me understand why my mother cried on my wedding day (I’ll tell you why someday).
And I won’t forget my husband. I thank you for everything!

What a great post. I have a little girl and can relate to almost every reason you have to be greatful. Thanks
I am so thankful for being a mom, too! Great pictures! Thanks for the follow from twittermoms, I cannot access GFC right now, but when it lets me sign in, consider yourself followed!
I like your blog! I check it once in a while and always find interesting reading. I start thinking of having my own little one (at age 29) and I just love what you wrote!
Thank you! I love that you like what is in my mind, and actually, writing things from within my heart:)
