mommy moments

One child definitely has it's benefits.

I could go on and on.

But.

It can be also be challenging.

I don't have the reassurance of knowing each day a brother or sister will come home from school to play and interact with him. Dad is often around in the morning for some family time, or for a quick game of tackle at night, but for a solid 10 hours a day it is only ME for his sole entertaining purposes.

*There's only so much of Batman that I like to play.

*Sword fights often lead to my fingers being smashed.

*Crashing trucks into each other isn't my ideal style of fun!

*Searching for a pirate treasure that is never going to be found is sometimes exhausting.

However...

I love watching my little angel exude so much enthusiasm and excitement over the little things.

*His imagination is never ending.

*His creativity is inborn.

*His sweet demeanor is precious.

*He yearns to have my attention and I'm thankful I can give it.

I love my mommy moments with him. I wouldn't trade them for the world.

"In terms of your happiness, in terms of the matters that make you proud or sad, nothing—I repeat, nothing—will have so profound an effect on you as the way your children turn out."

– President Gordon B. Hinckley

I

CHOSE

to be a mother.

I don't have the luxury of having children and planning my future like the majority of the world.

My family's existence lies in the fate of someone else.

I have to fight for my family!

I won't give up.

We've triumphed already and hope to again.

I waited and waited (and continue waiting) for the chance to be a mother and it's something I don't take lightly. I will bask in each moment I have with my son and I will give everything within my power to provide for every single need he has. I will do all I can to make sure he turns out to be a man of nobility.

*It's my job

*It's my duty

*It's my responsibility

*It's my honor

*It's my choice!

I'm grateful I can spend my full time job AT HOME. There's no place I'd rather be.

On the days I'm burnt out of captain Jack I'll be sure to thank my Heavenly Father in my prayers that night that I had so many fabulous mommy moments and that my son craves to play with me, trusts me and loves me!!!

How lucky am I.

MOMMY MOMENTS GALORE.

Now for those of you who have the opposite problem of me and struggle to find the time for

mommy moments,

maybe this little idea will help!

link HERE

The link above has a fun idea. The focus is to have a Mommy Moment, which is our divine destiny of Women and Mothers. Take a moment with your children to focus on some kind of teaching moment or just some nurturing, togetherness time!

You won't regret it.

Hopefully you realize you BOTH need it :)

Happy mommy moments to you!
