For years now I have used the hashtag mom life on social media. Yesterday I started thinking a little about that hashtag. What does mom life really mean? That is defined differently at different time. Sometimes mom life is nursing the fever that spikes at midnight, sometimes it is 36 hours of labor, sometimes it is surviving colic, sometimes it is that heart -wrenching first day of daycare after maternity leave … let’s be real, sometimes it’s hard, very hard.
But always … it’s beautiful! Sure there are hard seasons of mom life, but they are temporary and what is permanent is that you are a mom. A beautiful mom to a beautiful child. A child that is completely yours, a child you cherish, a child who thinks you hung the moon, a child you would sacrifice everything for, a child that has your heart … this is mom life.
And can I just say, the mommy is the photo above is amazing! She does mom life with such grace, love and joy. This little boy is so lucky to be so loved and he has an incredible mommy.
