One of those days when I realize that if I weren't a mom there wouldn't be so many things to bring me joy, like...
Picking up my daughter's cowgirl boots off the middle of the kitchen floor
Spending the afternoon baking (and enjoying the smell of) homemade bread for my fam
Having my two-year-old take my hand, lead me to the kitchen, and plead for "purple juice" while both girls argue over the same cup and my baby pulls at my pants in an effort to get some attention
Seeing my girls' purple tongues after drinking the completely unnecessary, but much appreciated treat
Spontaneous smiles because of the funny things that happen in my house
Underwear bums
Asking my two-year-old if she needs to go potty every 20 minutes
Being cheered on when I have a successful potty trip
Having my little guy love me so much that I can't get a good picture of him ... he just has to be in my arms
That is what brings me joy - being a mother. This is what I always dreamed of doing when I was growing up. I am so grateful that it's been "one of those days" when I remember just what a blessing it is to be where I am, what I am, and who I am!

I need to have more of those days. Sometimes it's hard to remember how wonderful it is to be a mom.
Thanks for this post.
I love this post! Seriously, sometimes just remembering those simple pleasures can do so much for my attitude. Thank you for sharing. You are seriously supermom.
yeah for sarah and being able to write her name.. impressive! yeah for you for getting her into preschool! how the heck are you by the way? :)
I should do that more often too! And be sooo thankful for a healthy baby who can scream his head off ;)
Those kind of things make me laugh! I love being a mother of preschoolers, they do the funniest things.
Great post. I had to smile especially big at the part about being cheered on when you go potty. "You did it, mom!" That's the greatest. 8-)
Thank you for helping me remember how great being a mom really is.
Good for you Jen. Always looking on the bright side of things. I need that attitude this week! Thanks for the great post.
Those are the kind of moments I can't imagine missing. It's a great reminder to enjoy the simple things!
way to go jen - that makes me smile too - at the same time that is makes me want to go straight to bed and save up my sleep for when i have three kids.
You are such a great mom! Your kids are sure lucky to have you as their mom.
Thanks for the reminder!! I need to do a little better at enjoying the little moments...they are flying by way too fast!! I'm going to miss them someday!!:) You are such a cute mom!!!
