What It Means to Be a Mom: Reflections from the Heart

Happy Mother’s Day from The Educators’ Spin On It! As a mom of 3, I’m sharing with you my honest thoughts about being a Mom… what would you add?

Plus an adorable collection of Mother’s Day Crafts for Kids.

Heartfelt Thoughts on Being a Mom

Being a Mom means making a choice. This choice is to be a part of someone else’s life forever.

It’s a choice to want to be there in the middle of the night for feedings or waiting for them to come home safely, to see a first smile, to watch their first step, or to hear their first word.

It’s a choice to cheer at a soccer game, attend a parent teacher conference, volunteer, or sit for many hours at the homework table and read book after book as my child learns to read.

It’s a choice to not have the perfect looking house but a house that’s filled with fun, adventure, and pictures on the fridge and photos on the walls.

It’s a choice to live in the moment with my child every day and teach them about the world.

It’s a choice to wear my morals, values, work ethic and even my emotions on my sleeve for my child to learn from.

It’s a choice to share my smiles, giggles, hugs and kisses and to hide my frustrations.

It’s a choice to love them unconditionally and to encourage them my whole life.

Being a mom is the best choice I’ve ever made in my life!

What It Means to Be a Mom: Reflections from the Heart

Wishing you all a delightful, enjoyable, laughter filled day!
