Even after the most heart-wrenching, exhausting and emotional days, the ones where I find myself saying:
'If I could just run away'
'Maybe the kids are better off without me'
'If another little human touches me in any way'
'Maybe I should I change my name'
'I didn't sign up for this'
I know I am meant to be a mom.
My heart loves more.
My spirit endures.
My eyes see the beauty.
There is no greater gift than being a mother.
Today, I selfishly celebrate this gift. This amazing opportunity to mold and motivate little minds with big hearts, little hands with incredible dreams and little feet with many miles to travel. For they are my biggest accomplishment.
They call me mom.

Happy Mother's Day to my incredible Mom and Aunt, my loving in-laws, grandmothers and all my incredible friends playing the role of Mama, Stepmama, Godmama, Furbaby Mama and daughter missing their mama. Sending all my love.
This blog was created in 2011 to capture my very personal journey of leaving full time work to become a work-at-home mother of three beautiful children. Naturally, this space has morphed into a place of personal reflection, celebration and sometimes even sadness. I’ve written about childhood cancer, food allergy and anaphylaxis, grief, marriage, friendship, parenting and everything in between, all with a growing sense of mindfulness and gratitude. Please, grab a cup of tea and stay awhile.
