Mother's Day

I am so blessed...so blessed to be the mother to these three!


I have learned more about myself and about life in general since becoming a mother 4 years ago. Motherhood definitely has its trying times. Sometimes at the end of a rough day, I look back and wished I could have had more patience here, or not lost my "cool" there, or wished I could have handled that situation different. But even through the rough patches, being a mom has taught me how to love unconditionally!


I love these three through their silliness...

Through their messes...

And through their breakdowns...

I pray everyday that I am doing the right thing as their mom and that I am riasing them to believe in God, to believe in their family, to believe in themselves, and to believe in kindness!


Now that I am a mom I sure do appreciate my mom more! And I know how much she loves me. My mom was the mom that packed the best lunches for us with special notes in our lunchboxes telling us how much she loved us. She was on every field trip I ever took. She was room mom every year. She was the mom that was always there...sometimes she would even be there when I really didn't want her to be (which of course now, I regret!). I always knew that I was loved and taken care of and I "tried" to stay out of trouble for fear of disappointing her! I love you mom! Happy Mother's Day, and thanks!

You're a wonderful mom, Corey! I'm right there with you with the prayers and wishing I hadn't lost my cool. These babies are just the cherry on top, aren't they?
