My friend Papaya Mom introduced me to the MommaBlogga website. Jordan from MommaBlogga hosts group writing projects, so I thought what better way to get better at writing then to enter? Want to enter? You can Enter Here!
Moday's blog is Motherhood is/means to me..
Where do I even begin with this statement?
Motherhood is graham cracker kisses, hugs around the neck, tiny feet and belly laughs. It's knowing full well that a piece of your heart is walking around outside of your body and trying to hold on to that piece and keep it near you for as long as possible.
It means sticky fingers, handprints on the walls and crayon artwork where it doesn't belong. Car seats, diapers, potty training and Elmo DVD's. It can mean loving your husband/partner even more because of the knowledge that he helped create this wonderful little person.
Motherhood is stretch marks, 3am feedings and saggy boobs. It's realizing you're totally out of the loop and SO much less cool than you used to think you were.
Most of all, Motherhood means that your life is changed forever. Not for the weak or the faint of heart, motherhood is the most important job you will ever be blessed to have. It's 24/7, 365 days a year and though there are no sick days or vacation time alotted you will be paid full well in 'I Love You, Mom's,' macaroni artwork and toothless baby grins.

Oh my goodness Melissa! That was so totally sweet. I love your entry. Your kids are blessed having you as their mom.
What a wonderful entry! You really hit the highs--and the lows--of motherhood.
Thanks for participating!
What a sweet post. I enjoyed reading it.
I did mine on the highs and lows of motherhood too :).
I liked this one very much!
What? I'm not cool? Bummer.
Thanks for writing, "You are totally out of the loop."
That's exactly how I've felt and yet didn't have the words for it. I might have to write about that! : )
tiny feet *sigh*
crayon artwork *sigh*
I agree...I love it all!
I love how you describe kids as a little piece of your heart walking around outside of you.
OH Melissa! this is lovely! I so enjoyed reading it. I am even more excited to see that you have a blog. May I add you to my list of friends blogging?
Great Post, I can so identify. You can tell your children are getting taller by the height of the marks on the was.
Amen sista! It's great to be reminded that even the moments that can appear frustrating on the surface are fleeting . . . and sweeter than they one might think. Thank you.
My life in a nutshell! If only my high school friends could see me now - oh, yeah, this is them, too.
Gotta love those graham cracker kisses... Wait until they get older and then you get the "no, mom, don't kiss me here in front of my friends" (and my twins are 6... sigh).
Cherish those moments now- they go quickly.

Those toothless baby grins are worth their weight in gold, aren't they? Love the post!
Ditto to all above comments!
This Elizabeth Stone quote is my favorite since becoming a mom, and your post reminds me of it:
"Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body."
