Heartfelt Thoughts on Being a Mom

Happy Mother’s Day from The Educators’ Spin On It! As Moms of 3, we’re sharing with your our 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!

~ Kim

Being a mom means having a great reason to enjoy life in a different way.  I am able to chase seagulls at the beach, do cartwheels in the water, and roll around in the sand until I look like I am a sand princess and it is OK because I am doing these things with my kids!  (Well, I do get some funny looks!)

Being a mom also means sharing the AMAZING things about parenting with the people I love and now, since we started blogging here at The Educators’ Spin On It – with YOU!  Like this…

Are you as excited as we are???  I feel so blessed to have such an amazing mom of my own and to have been given the gift of motherhood!  We look forward to what the future brings to our family and hope to share more with you here at The Educators’ Spin On It. 

There is much to celebrate this Mothers’ Day!

– Amanda

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