5 things I LOVE about being a MOM

Why not kick off this parenting and lifestyle blog with a good old-fashioned list. Right! 

So here is goes,
 5 things I love about being a mom. 

1) Unconditional love 

Corny but true, this little girl loves us unconditionally no stings attached. We feel the exact same way about her. She doesn't care if I brushed my teeth first thing in the morning, she'll still give me kisses. She doesn't care if we stay in all day and have dance parties or run a million errands, she just loves that I am there. I feel the exact same way. She may have temper tantrums (what toddler doesn't) or rub yogurt on my desk chair (that just happened) no matter what I love her the same. 

2) Having a little buddy

I know most moms think this, and boy is it true. You always have someone to go to target with or go get lunch with. She's so much fun and getting to that stage where her personality comes out all the time and I LOVE it! Although, she may be a mini version of me, in which case my poor husband will really be in for it by the time this chick hits high school. 

3) Getting to experience it all over again

Having kids is like getting to watch your favorite show or re read your favorite book for the first time. You get this amazing opportunity to redo it all. I love watching her have her first experiences, it's like I am eating ice cream for the very first time or meeting Mickey Mouse all over again.  Theres something magical in getting to do it all over with your kids. 

4) Being a kid again

This one kind of goes hand and hand with the last one. You get to be silly and sing disney songs at the top of your lungs, and the best part no one can judge you because your just trying to keep your toddler from screaming. You get to go to the park and swing on the swings without looking like that crazy lady who's a little to big for the seesaw. Finger painting, splash pads, eating with your hands, having a kiddo gives you a free pass to act like a kid again. Although I do recommend you go back to being a grownup every so often, you know so you don't look totally insane.

5) Finding my purpose 

I have always wanted to be a mom. Having peanut really gave me purpose. I knew I wanted to do everything in my power to be the best mommy I can be for her. That gave me reason to seek knowledge, better myself an intern make me realize "hey I'm not half bad at this". Now trust me I know I can alway be better, but having a tiny human look up to me for everything makes me want to be better not just for me, but for her.
