“Motherhood has been both the most taxing and rewarding experience for me to date.
I gave up my lifestyle, my body and my precious sleep but in return I got a love I didn’t know I was capable of having.”

“Being a mom has been the most challenging, humbling and beautiful thing I have ever done. I know I will miss the sleepless nights where it’s just the two of us quietly rocking as I hum Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for the fifteenth time, so I cherish those quiet moments and rock her a few extra minutes. Sometimes a few tears sneak out as my heart overflows with a love I have never known before. The days of a perfect clean house with no chores left to do no longer exists, but I’ve traded that in for days filled with giggles and Reese’s famous wide open mouthed smiles when we’ve discovered something new and exciting, or hours of rocking,comforting and gentle love when it’s time for a nap or she’s having a bad day. She has taught me to slow down with the hustle and bustle and no matter how chaotic life feels at that moment to just stop enjoy the smallest things, like my favourite memories of laying outside in the summer watching the leaves gently sway, or laying in the silence of an afternoon nap watching her little chest rise and fall, feeling her warm breath on my face and savouring her sweet baby smell.”

“Motherhood is about offering comfort, and being that constant thing in my boys’ lives.I would consider myself playful and not afraid to get down on the ground while pretending to be Charlie’s train caboose! My youngest has cystic fibrosis, which has tested me and made me more aware of my mothering style this round.. Amidst all of his daily therapies (chest physio) and treatments (drugs galore!), I try to stay calm, light-hearted, and present.  I also see my role as mama bear to foster a close relationship between the boys. They share a language that only they understand. I often feel like they need each other as much as they need me. “

“Motherhood has been both the most taxing and rewarding experience for me to date. I gave up my lifestyle, my body and my precious sleep but in return I got a love I didn’t know I was capable of having. When I get a little smile, a laugh, a loving look or best of all, some cuddles in return, I’d give up every little thing I have all over again if I could.”

“Motherhood is an unconditional love, one stronger than one ever thought possible. I am a mother of three sweet babies, my eldest sunshine baby who was my light, my middle angel baby, who thought me true strength, and my youngest, rainbow baby who taught me a new level of happiness.”

“What motherhood means to me is never feeling alone or unneeded. It means endlessly hearing mom, momma, mommy all day and appreciating the importance of my role. It wasn’t until I became a mother that I actually felt like I found what I was supposed to do in life. Motherhood to me means putting everyone else’s best interest ahead of my own and being perfectly ok with that while they need so much of me. It means being sure to enjoy all the little things even when life gets stressful and taking mental note of all the things they do and say because this won’t last forever. I know how much my heart will ache one day when they won’t need me in the same way as they do now. The magic is in the mess and I’m trying not to miss one second of it.”
