A Mother’s Love

Motherhood is a journey like no other and as a mother of three boys myself, I can tell you that it can be exhilarating, exhausting, and extremely rewarding. My boys are 7, 5, and 3, and with Mother’s Day being celebrated this weekend, I was thinking about how my life has changed so much over the past seven years, I went from only having to worry about myself, to being a mom to three amazing boys, and motherhood has truly shaped me into the person I am today. My boys have taught me patience, oh so much patience, resilience, and most of all, unconditional love.  

Now, to all the moms-to-be and new moms out there, this journey can be challenging but so fulfilling. You will be exhausted from the sleepless nights, feeding struggles, and endless diaper changes, and you’ll be lucky if you don’t get peed on, or even worst, pooped on from time-to-time, but then you’ll forget about how gross that was, and in the most amazing way possible. The moment when those little eyes are staring up at you like you are the most beautiful person they have ever seen, your heart will be so full, and then that changes into watching your children grow and thrive, by being part of these amazing moments when you get to witness their personalities evolve, and let’s not forget that first giggle, when they start to laugh, that joyous sound will be contagious! Those memories that you have been a part of in creating, will be forever rewarding and they will always hold a place in your heart.

So, this is your special day, take the time to celebrate YOU, and all the moms out there who give so much to their families. If you are a new mom, a seasoned pro with grown children, or somewhere in between, Mother’s Day is the perfect time to reflect on all the amazing things you do. You can celebrate with a special dinner with your family, a day of pampering at the spa, or just a quiet moment to reflect on all the joys of motherhood, just remember to do something special for yourself because you deserve it.

I personally love BRUNCH, so we do that every year. This year we are trying a local business called Butter & Boil, they offer a catering service that specializes in a Gourmet Seafood experience, you can find the link to their IG on my post. I also get my husband to take the boys to our local garden centre, where they each pick a flower that I can plant in my garden. I prefer this over a bouquet, as I get to smell and see them all season long and we usually plant them together, which is something we love to do.

I wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy it anyway you would like, and never forget how incredibly AWESOME you are.

XO,
