I just wanted to take a second to tell you all Happy Mother’s Day!
Something happens to you when you have kids, everything changes. I had kids pretty young, but I could still recognize it. It has been fun to watch my sister, who recently had a baby not even a month ago, experience all the amazing things that come with being a Mom. At one point she expressed that she was worried that would not love her baby when he was born. I sooo remember feeling the same way, but the instant that baby was born there was such love and such an instinct I completely forgot my worries.
What an amazing gift I have ben given to be able to be a Mother. What a blessing. What a blessing each of our children have been to our family and to each other. I love so much each of their unique personalities and all their weird little quirks! I love watching them get older and develop their talents. I even like the fact that I can’t help a few of them with match homework anymore 🙂
Some of the most heartwarming moments I have ever had are watching my children with each other. They are good friends, and watch out for each other. They support each other and care about what the other’s are doing. I have big kids who watch closely over little ones without ever being asked. These are the most rewarding moments for me. Sure my kids can get into arguments and disagreements, someone is bound to eat someone else’s candy, or look at them wrong in the car. But they get over it quickly and go back to being friends.
Motherhood can be hard and confusing. It took me a few kids to realize that I struggle with postpartum depression for a while after they are born. That was a scary and frustrating time not knowing what was wrong with me and feeling like I was all alone and that no one understood. My children in the middle it was the worst with, but I knew what it was and to expect it, and although I cried all the time, I knew that it would go away and that I would eventually feel better. Wait, I still cry for no reason… dang hormones!
Anyway, I didn’t mean to write a book, I just wanted to say how much I love all you Mother’s out there, and all you who are not Mom’s but still “mother”. You work so hard and rarely get thanked, one day a year just isn’t enough. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for being a MOM!
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..

I love you.
I love your honesty, although my 3 children are adults and now I have moved on to being a Mimi I still remember looking into my childrens face right after birth and knowing that God gave me a very precious gift. We don’t know each other however you do so much for everyone, I’m positive you are a fabulous person. I truly hope you have had a great mothers day. Thank you soooo much for all that you share with us. You just rock girlie 🙂

Ever since you became rich and famous, you never come and see me, Buttercup.
I’m starting to wonder if Anna and Tonia like me better than you like me.
Gasp.
Happy (late) Mother’s Day, Tiffany!
You’re so right! Kids change everything. Priorities in specific. Homemade cards have replaced dozens of roses and I’m happy with that.
I have also struggled with depression, mainly after number 6. I think having so many children in a row, emotions/hormones up and down so often causes this. Neither of us have to worry about this happening again, though, lol!
