5 Things I Love About Being a Mom

1. These kids are funny. Seriously, they make me laugh every day, and even if you know nothing about me, you have to know that I dearly love to laugh. Especially at inappropriate stuff.

2. I was born to be a baseball and football Mom of boys. Give me cleats, orange dirt, football pads and lawn chairs any day over toe shoes and tutus.

3. It’s not always about me anymore. Watching my kids open presents is way more exciting than getting any.  Watching fireworks suddenly became less interesting than watching my kids mesmerized by fireworks. Most of the time, it being about them is pretty awesome.

4. Seeing a smaller version of your husband makes you love him even more, and makes you feel pretty lucky that you ended up with such a great person to reproduce.

5. And last, but not least, having kids, not only gives you a new appreciation for your parents and how they feel about your children and all they do with them, but it really brings home all the things they did and felt when you were a kid. Now I know how much my Mom loves me, and I can only imagine how much she must love my kids. There are way more than 5 reasons, but those are all really good ones! Hope you had a happy Mother’s Day!
