Mother's Day...

I love my quirky kids... My daughter's teacher asked her to draw her mummy for Mother's Day. Instead she drew an Egyptian mummy in a tomb. 😂😂

Today my beautiful children have wrapped me in all the love their little hearts can muster. In spite of my failings as a human being; the times I’ve been so mind numbingly bored at home with a newborn or exasperated with a toddler who has experimented with play-dough up his nose. The times that they're bouncing off the walls, the times that my house seems completely trashed, the times that I'm so exhausted that I just want to cry...in spite of the not so perfect moments, they just see love. They see the story-time snuggles, the outdoor adventures, the dinner conversations, the laughing, the wiping of tears, the cheerleader, the confidant... the person, however flawed she may be, who loves them more than life itself. That’s what they see. 

How lucky I am that they see that. That these little people love me as unconditionally as children can. Let today be a celebration of all those who choose to love and nurture someone outside of themselves, mothers or not.
