As I was reflecting on Mother's Day and what it means to be a mother, I read my cousins blog where she challenged everyone to write down 10 reasons why your mother is awesome and why being a mother rocks! I decided to take her up on her challenge but add one more special woman in my life to my list, my mother-in-law.

5. She is an amazing friend
6. She is always up for an adventure
7. She is funny and likes to have fun
8. She enjoys reading and sharing books with me

Why I love being a Mom...
1. I love the way being a mom gives me a sense of purpose. Sawyer relies on me for everything she needs.
2. I love when she puts her head on my shoulder and
cuddles up with me
3. I love how her smile and laughter is infectious
and no matter what is going on it melts my heart.
4. I love going into her room to get her in the
morning or after a nap and seeing her standing up eagerly waiting to see me
5. This year has been a year of firsts and I love
watching her discover all the new things in her life (her hands, crawling,
standing, walking)
6. I love listening to her talk/squeal as she plays
with her toys
7. She has unconditional love for me, no matter
what I look like, how much I weigh, what I am wearing etc.
8. I love that every time I go some where without
her and walk in the door she crawls right over to me and wants to be picked up
9. I love how she wants to be apart of everything I
do
10. I
love how when I am in the kitchen cooking or baking she comes and holds on to
my leg and wants to make sure I know she is still there
Awesome lists! We are blessed to have these great examples in our lives. Happy First Mother's Day!!
