I realize that a lot of the “blog-worthy” content seems to be the crazy meltdowns or cranky mom moments. There are so many wonderful and beautiful and funny things about being a mom, and I really want to capture those too.

Today for example: Jack saw me giving my husband a kiss, and immediately ran to us and wanted to be picked up- so he could have kisses too.

Sunday, he didn’t nap for most of the day, until he passed out in the Moving, very loud, speedboat. IN HIS LIFEJACKET (which he hates). It was the first time in months that he has fallen asleep on me.

Or how when he’s sleepy, he snuggles his blankie on the tip of his nose.

Motherhood is a wild rollercoaster of emotions.

Some days there’s week old food on my pants and my hair has been in the same messy ponytail for far too long. Other days I am supermom because I managed to remember to put on deodorant and shoes.

Some day my kid will call me mama instead of dadadadada 🙄

Someday, I will look back on my motherhood journey and I’ll look at the tantrums and meltdowns and all of the sweet little moments that made me feel like a real mom.
