Sarah from My Charmed Life just gave me the “Mom of the Year” Award. How sweet! Obviously she doesn’t know me well! lol Just kiddin!
Rules for Mom of the Year Award:
•Admit one thing you feel awful about involving being a mom. Get it off your shoulders. Once you’ve written it down, you are No Longer allowed to feel bad. It’s over with, it’s in the past. Remember, you’re a good mom!
I am sometimes too busy and/or tired to do the fun things with my kids that moms should do. Taking them to the park, playing a game with them, reading them a book, etc. Having three kids and a husband that isn’t home much makes things crazy for me. I need to remember that my kids are little and they won’t always be. At some point they’re going to be too cool for me and now is my time to spend with them while I’m still the cool mom!
•Remind yourself you are a good mom, list seven things you love about your kids, you love doing with your kids, or that your kids love about you. These are the things to remind yourself everyday that you Rock!
1.I love when my kids give me huge hugs and tell me that I’m the best mama in the whole world! (Clearly they don’t get out much! lol)
2.I love their innocence! The way they interpret things is part of what keeps me feeling sane!
3. I love the quiet time I get to spend with my kids. Reading books, coloring, playing outside, doing puzzles and games, etc. I don’t have time for it every day but when we do it’s very special!
4. I love watching them grow each and every day! With each passing day I can see what kind of adults they will be someday and how proud I am and will be.
5.I love their big brown eyes! All 3 of them have the biggest, most sparkling eyes ever!
6.I love it when they play together and get along! Seeing them act like friends and not just siblings melts my heart!
7. I love seeing their fun moments! Going to games, concerts, plays and so on is so much fun! I remember thinking how cool it would be when I was little to some day watch my kids on stage or on the field!
•Send this to five other Mom’s of the year that deserve credit for being great moms and remind them that they are the best moms they can be!! Remember to send them a note to let them know you’ve selected them, and add a link to the person who nominated you.
I hereby nominate…
