::5 things I do right::

With Mother's Day approaching, I have been thinking about what it means to be a mom.
I want to believe that I am a good mom. Not award winning or anything but I am working on that.
I have had a short fuse the last few weeks and haven't had the patience that I know my oldest deserves. Sad but true...
Instead of getting down on myself about what I could do differently I thought I would list out what I do right.

• I give great hugs
• I am the best tickle monster
• I love my children with my whole heart
• My kisses make everything better
• I give great foot rubs

What are 5 things you do that make you a great mom?

very nice post

for me:

1) i too love my kids with my whole heart

2) against odds i have nursed 3 babies for 13 mos ( a singleton and set of twins)

3)i would do anything in the world for my girls

4) i sacrifice many personal splurges and me time so that i can have more for them

5) i never sacrifice my children's safety for anything or anyone.

I make great cookies.

I know when to back off (well most of the time).

I do not get hyperactive about cleanliness.

I buy them candy and don't steal it from them later.

I buy myself candy and let them steal it from me later.

I love this post! It's so easy to get down on ourselves; I will think of this next time I feel like a crummy mom.

1. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my kids and tell them all the time.

2. Recognize them as their own people, not extensions of me.

3. Take them places.

4. Make healthy food for them, but make sure they have some treats, too.

5. Try to make it fair between the two of the.
