I love to watch each one of my children learn and grow in their own time, and in their own way.
I love that a little bit of knowledge goes a long way in impressing my kids. For example, if I can make a pirate ship out of Legos, I'm the smartest mom in the world!
I love that I can spend an entire day playing outside, coloring, reading books or building castles, and it is a wise investment of my time.
I love that I always have SOMETHING to talk about. Poop and spit-up are invaluable topics of conversation.
I love that I am adored in a way that can't be explained. That feeling when your baby reaches up to touch your face for the first time - magic.
I love that I get to buy cute clothes without the guilt; cause I'm not shopping for MYSELF.
I love that I have lost my jaded outlook as my kids see things for the first time. Snow used to be a driving problem. Now it’s actually fluffy frozen water falling from the sky....and its time to make a snow man!
I love having a home full of laughter.
I love that with my kids no matter how bad I think the day went, the next day is brand new–a do-over. I can start all over at being a perfect Mom every day and they keep giving me the chance.
I love the UNKNOWN–I am a person who usually likes to have things planned out, but when you’re mom, you never what your kids will do or say. There is something beautiful and fun about having no idea what to expect next!
I love being a mom because it is where I feel the most dependent on Heavenly Father. It is such a roller coaster ride and I CAN'T do it by myself!
I love the slobbery kisses, high fives and the way too short snuggle sessions!
Yikes...I should probably stop here! Nate keeps calling me to come downstairs and watch the Jazz/Lakers game. A little in home rivalry keeps the marriage interesting! (Go Jazz!)

I loved reading this. This comment made me cry "I love that I am adored in a way that can't be explained. That feeling when your baby reaches up to touch your face for the first time - magic." So precious. Happy Mother's Day you are a great example to me.
Thanks staci, I needed the reminder today that tomorrow is a do-over and that my kids will let me have that perfect day tomorrow. I LOVED this weeks post if only that I get to read all the wonderful reminders from all the women I look up to! Your the best!
Hey stacy- I check your blog every once in while. This was such a sweet post, it honestly made me feel like I need to enjoy the moments with my kids more often! I just get so overwhelmed and forget about how blessed I am!!
Your boys are SO precious!!! Everything you said, I kept thinking, "Yeah, exactly." Your boys are so lucky to have you. Reading this made me shed a tear or two. Isn't being a mom the greatest thing in the whole wide world? On a side note, I was sad not to see you while you were here but I totally understand the craziness. Having three kids makes me feel like I went from two to ten, and skipped all the numbers inbetween. We'll have to get together next time. We love you guys!
LOVE this post. Diddo to all you said.. especially being in a world of the UNKNOWN. what is going to happen today?! And hearing your kids laugh in the other room is the best sound ever!
