What it means to be a blogger mom…

What does a blogger-mama have to deal with?
- blogs at the breakfast table with sticky strawberry jelly fingers, and a baby on her lap
- blogs in the afternoon, on the big king bed, with a sleeping toddler by her side and a baby on her lap
- blogs at 2 am, on the glider-rocker… no baby (whew!)
- dancing hip hop to “ABC”
discipline is heartbreaking!
- wet kisses
- toothless smiles that melt her heart
- goofiness without shame
- “Mommy, I’m your princess!”
- “I love you, Mommy.Goodnight, Mommy.”
- anytime-hugs
- someone to play Dora with
- a newborn, skin to skin
- watching Smallville with the girl. for real.
- hero, unsung but fully rewarded
- middle-of-the-night snuggles when the girl wakes up and goes to sleep with her mom and dad
- that loving gaze her husband gives when he sees the kids with her
- when the girl pretends-play with her dolls and she acts like her mom
- to labor through, and deliver a really beautiful child
- nine months without chocolates, coffee, peanut butter, sushi, eggs and dairy
- and after giving birth, maybe many more months without the dairy, eggs, nuts, chocolates and seafood of an allergy-free life
- love, rediscovered
Every hero has a mom. Every mom is a hero.
Happy Mother’s Day.
Love It!
Happy Mother’s Day!
great post
In a few years you’ll be able to write:
- being home when your child is ill and can’t go to school
- being home when your child comes home from school and has something great to tell you
- to go to the school and see your child perform in an event
- hug your child when he or she has had a bad day
- be up all night because your child can’t sleep but that’s ok because you can grab a nap during the day
- knowing that your teens know that you know when they should be home and it won’t be to an empty house
aw, thanks Marijke… i do look forward to those years when they’re a little older and hopefully i’m much wiser.
Then there will come a day when they are wiser than you … and it’ll freak you out!

Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
