Only a Mom Would...

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's! Whether you are a homemaker or a working mom we all deserve a day to celebrate all that we do for our kids.


The church service I went to yesterday gave me a great idea on how I would like to celebrate. I would love to hear you finish this sentence.


Only a mom would...


Here are a few things that I have done myself that I can see only a mom doing (in other words something that M would never do himself).

• Only a mom would consider knocking out a child because they are bullying the kids on the playground and keep knocking over her baby.
• Only a mom would jump up and down with excitement and text the whole family letting them know that their little boy pooped in the potty for the first time.
• Only a mom would give up a career for the chance to stay home and raise their children.
• Only a mom would go through another pregnancy, labor and birth to experience never ending love that only a child can bring to their lives.
• Only a mom would hold up a pair of wet pants to her face and smell it trying to figure out it the wetness is water or urine.
• Only a mom would pick a binkie up off the Wal-Mart floor and clean it in her mouth before giving it back to her baby.

There is no shame is what we do every day. God created us this way so that we can nurture our children in every way they need. I know that every day I have to experience at least one thing that I could say "only a mom would do..." so share  your stories of funny, horrifying, and sweet things that you do that you could not see anyone else doing.
