.….that I never could have learned during my years of university education.
-
Children naturally know how to be present
-
No stress is ever more important than the time I spend with my kids
-
Wisdom is not learned and it certainly doesn’t come from books
-
Love has no end and no boundaries
-
Its not fair for me to try to take up all the space- its important that I leave some space for my kids to have an impact and to make their own impression
-
Kids don’t care about how much I earn
-
It’s all about joy and fun
-
Always treat animals with love
-
The hard stuff can even be fun
-
I am beautiful in that dress that I bought 10 years ago
-
It really is simple
-
What’s in the past is in the past
-
I am the best mom in the world
-
Love grows every single day
-
I love dancing wildly to loud music
-
My heart is as big as an ocean
-
Our bodies are miracles
-
I’m not in control as much as I’d like to be or was previously used to
-
It’s beautiful to be imperfect
-
Imperfections make me more accessible and approachable
-
It’s ok to wobble and fall, it’s actually fun
-
There are many, many ways that you can scrape your fingers and your toes
-
Messy is far more fun
-
Fairies are real
-
It’s wonderful to wake up laughing
-
Time is precious
-
Patience is a never ending practice
-
Memories are worth sharing
-
I can love my kids and my work
-
I can’t be it all or have it all but I can certainly try
-
It helps to share my struggles and worries with others
-
Sometimes it really is just that simple
-
Being a mother is something you do under any and all circumstances, whether you’re happy or sad, you don’t just toss it out the window because you’re having a bad day
-
Being a mother defines me but it does not limit me
-
I am a mother but I am also much more
-
I can’t fix everything nor should I
-
I want to take away my children’s pain but it is far better to sit through it with them to teach them how to feel it
-
I will teach my children more from my imperfections than from my perfections
-
If it feels good then it must be good!
-
Being firmly grounded in myself, feet on the ground, helps me to open my heart more fully. Mothering grounds me.
-
My children are best left with their brilliance rather than with mine
