For Mother's Day

Looking at the journey of motherhood has been quite rewarding. Just like with anything in life there are many ups and downs but gratitude always abounds.

The older I get the more I really appreciate my mother and her mother for all that they were able to do for us. I understand now that it's not an easy road. All the times they said, "no", for whatever reason make sense now more than ever.

What an amazing responsibility to have a tiny person (or more) depending on you for everything! Yes, it's easy to place all your energy into making sure your kids' needs are met and lose sight of the fact that you need some of your energy as well. So take some time today, and a moment everyday, to take care of you! It's important for your own mental health and for all those around you.

Be blessed and stay joyful, my friends!
