Super Mom

Just call me Super Mom.  I totally earned the title this weekend.  The boys and I bought a rubber band bracelet loom and made enough bracelets to cut off the circulation of 100 small children or 1 large elephant, we attended a birthday party at The Little Gym, we had a dinner date with the BFF, we made Christmas cookies, we attended a night in Bethleham, we shopped for and made goodie bags for the boys classes and SO MUCH MORE.

This is a shout out to all of you moms (and dads):

• Spending countless hours and dollars creating the perfect Christmas for your kids
• Bravely lunging across the room with a shoe to kill the spider threatening your family
• Coming up with the most creative Elf on the Shelf locations
• Packing the most edible lunches for school
• Creating an awesome advent calendar
• Planning amazing birthday parties
• Sitting on the front row of the Christmas sing-a-long
• Wrestling in the living room
• Instilling confidence in your children
• Chaufering your children to and from all of there many extracurricular activities.

Obviously this was a random, very random, sampling of what you do.  But the most important thing is just to be present and be you.

If you are still reading this – my guess is you are a great parent.  I am in awe of you every single day for the time/energy/love you put into the lives of your children.  I hope, and in most circumstances believe, that what you put in will be a reflection of what comes out.  Give yourself a pat on the back and remind yourself that there is no one more important than you to your children.  Your role makes a difference, some would say it makes all the difference.  Here’s to all of you Super Moms and Super Dads in the world!  

XOXO,

Megan
