Motherhood

MOTHERHOOD is raw and pure. It is fierce and gentle. It is up and down. It is magic and madness.
Single days last forever and years fly by. Be gentle with yourself dear mama...
Don't miss the scenery. Don't miss conversation with your travel companions.
Laugh at the bumps, and say "oooh and ahhhh!!!" on the hairpin turns.
Buckle your seatbelt...the ride is just gonna keep getting better :)
In the moments that someone dares try to criticize you remember this:
There is no one else quite like you....and there is no better Mama for your monkies than you.
God thought it best to give them to you....not them.
And on the days that you are covered in monkey poo and flying bananas.....
 don't ever forget who you are: A beautiful, amazing, awe-inspiring, fierce warrior mama...
First Lady of the Homestead. Wear that name badge with honor. You've earned it.
