Mother's Day 2014

I felt very loved and celebrated on mother's day. I got a pedicure with Kelsey, ate a ton of yummy food, got to go on individual dates with each kid, and had some alone time complete with a bubble bath!

Here's what I wrote about motherhood on facebook: Motherhood is messy. Yes there have been incidents involving poop decorated with beads, projectile spit up I thought only possible from a YouTube video, throw up in the car, many many stained clothes from mud and berries, and numerous nose wipes on my shirt. But not that kind of messy. Motherhood is messy in ways I never expected...being humbled yet again when I realize how selfish I really am, repeatedly asking for forgiveness when I mess up, blubbery joy watching them ride their tricycle for the first time , heart bursting thankfulness when Colter says I love you mama, side splitting laughter when Colter says something like "my nibbles are growing!" (Only to figure out he was taking about his mouth and not...well you know ) fear and worry about the future, and a deep deep gratitude for the village of amazing moms around me. Thank you my two sweet peas.. For making me a mom and loving me despite the messiness.
