Unconditional Love & 10 More Things Being a Mom Has Given Me
When I became a mom I knew my life was going to change in a big way. I was ready for it and looked forward to what it was going to bring. 6 years into this whole “Mommy” thing and I could not have even predicted all the awesome it would bring me.
Being a mom is a role I am glad to have and it has taught me some pretty valuable lessons. I have learned a lot about the world and myself as I watch and nurture these three beautiful kids. It has made me grow as individually and as a partner. One thing is for sure though — some changes you can’t really be prepared for unless you are smacked right in the face with it. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, but it is all worth it!

deborah commented on Feb 08 12 at 9:26 pmi lost my gross factor long before I became a mother. My mom is a nurse and the things she would tell us when she would come home about her patients while we would eat dinner, you would not believe!
Taylor commented on Feb 15 12 at 11:22 am@deborah, Ditto on that, my mom is also a nurse, I lost the gross out ability in my child hood.

Savannah commented on Feb 15 12 at 3:05 pmI have 2 boys under the age of 3 and a puppy…so I totally get these…especially the clean one. I tell people when they come over that my floor is clean you just can’t see it because it’s burried underneath all the toys :D
