Monday Musings: Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, grandmas, dog-moms, moms-to-be and those hoping to be moms.

It's a big job! You deserve this annual recognition for all that you do for your children and families.

“Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy.” – Tina Fey

People often say motherhood is living with your heart outside your body. It's so true. This often feels like a big, scary world and yet we have to let our children live big too.

"For me, motherhood is learning about the strengths I didn’t know I had, and dealing with the fears I didn’t know existed." - Halle Berry

So, keep doing what you can, and acknowledge when you can't. And lean on your mom and all the moms you know for that boost when it's tough.

“I’m blessed and I couldn’t be more grateful. Do you want to know why? Because I’m a mother, but that’s only half of it. I’m blessed because, when I need to, I can still just be a daughter. I get the feeling that there is nothing more precious than to have both of these roles, simultaneously.” —Adrianna Stepiano

So, this week (and especially on Sunday), enjoy being a daughter, being a mom, and being you!
