“As a mother, I want to be humble enough to realize I haven’t mastered it all, brave enough to keep trying, and grateful enough to see the grace in it all.”
KRISTEN // Brennan
“Life started for me when Brennan came into this world last June. He’s adorable, handsome, and hilarious !! He makes me smile daily. Words will never describe the kind of love I have for this little boy of mine. No matter how long the days or nights are, we always get through them and that’s only because of him. He has taught me about patience and what the true meaning of strength really means. He has my heart.”
SARA // Emma
“Motherhood to me means waking up to see that beautiful smile everyday! Knowing you have a purpose everyday, to do something good. Everything we do, we do for her. Emma has changed my life for the better, she makes me want to be a better person and she makes me feel like I can strive and push to my goals and get more out of life. Motherhood is challenging, you have to take it all in and enjoy the ride. As a mother, I want to be humble enough to realize I haven’t mastered it all, brave enough to keep trying, and grateful enough to see the grace in it all. Emma has brought so much happiness to our lives, I can’t imagine life without her. As a mother, you must hold onto the tiny moments and cherish every snuggle because they grow up so fast.”

“I never wanted to be a mother. I never had that innate desire to hold a baby, or nurture anyone. I was wild, selfish, and fiercely independent. Then one day a baby was born, MY baby was born, and then another. WOW, talk about a total transformation. I was instantly tame, gentle and in love. We are a quirky, crazy, blended family who loves one another unconditionally. God bless my husband for taking me and my girls as we were and creating a beautiful little family with the addition of our wild-child. I am still fiercely independent but, I always have 3 sidekicks to share my adventures with, and I still have no desire to hold babies…except for my own.”

“Motherhood has been such a lesson for me. A lesson in patience, a lesson in confidence, a lesson in the strength of my marriage and most of all a lesson in love. It has taught me fear, worry, happiness and perspective. I’ve learned to see the world through the eyes of my daughter, and it has been beautiful and overwhelming. How humbling it is to watch her discover and delight at the smallest of things. When something so small brings such joy to her, it reminds me to look for the beauty in all things. It has taught me innocence and joy and awe. Motherhood has taken my life and completely redefined it. It’s given me a built in sidekick. It is hard, it is some days exhausting but it is exactly where I want to be. Motherhood is truly a force to be reckoned with.”
