10 things I learned as a mother

I hope that everyone's Mother's Day is blessed and filled with lots of love and relaxation. I, being the type of person who doesn't know how to truly relax, decided to write this post instead.

During my journey through motherhood there have been somethings that I have learned along the way. Here are a few, in no particular order.

-Once kids learn the word "mama", they never stop using it.
-No 2 children are created equally. (My first born is quiet as a mouse, second born doesn't know the meaning of using your "inside voice".
-Didn't know that my mother would take such joy in seeing me fuss at my own kids with one simple word: "payback".
-Once the kids came into the picture, I was now a non-factor.
-Didn't know that kids as little as 4 and 7 could talk themselves out of being in trouble.
-I never believed my parents when they would say that they punished me because they loved me until becoming a mother
-Motherly instincts are real and you would do any and everything to protect them.
-My children would run my life.
-I wouldn't mind them running my life because my life is totally about them now.
-My children are closer to me than my skin and that's where I always want them to be.

Mother's Day is bittersweet because although I am blessed to still have my mama, there are some who are not as fortunate. Whatever your situation, be thankful for the mother/mother figures you've ever had in your life because whether you realize it or not, that relationship has been vital to the person that you are today.

Happy Mother's Day!
In remembrance of Annie Pearl Davis. Love you, Grandma!
