on being a "mom"

Christmas 2008





My first Son......my bundle of Joy.




My Daugther........My blessing


My Baby




My children.....My purpose





Where can I start on why I love being a mom? maybe it's because of the children I have that makes me love being a mom? or is it just meant to be that I would grow up to love motherhood, and be proud of the fact that I am raising three outstanding human beings? after many years of frustration and times when I wanted to pull my hair out......practically on a daily basis, I've come to a very peaceful place in the journey of being a mom. I'm experiencing a time of peaceful bliss, a time of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of my labor. I can see and hear what I have instilled in my children, and I am proud. I've created children with a heart, children with compassion for others, children that will grow up to be extraordinary adults......who will in turn instill the same values in their children. I'm excited about life, I can't wait to see what's around the corner. I've come to know who I am, who I was meant to be and the reason for my existence. My children have come into my life to make me a whole person, to complete my life and my soul. I am fully aware of my self and of my purpose, and that is the purpose of being a teacher to my children, to create and make what I want from them. This in no way takes away from who they are, it just keeps them on track if they happen to lose their way. I'm a little lighthouse showing them the way to were they belong in this world. Motherhood is truly a blessing and a great responsibility, the most beautiful part of being a mom is that feeling in your heart that comes to life the minute you become a mom. A love like no other, a love without expectations, love in the purest of forms. I love being a mom, I wouldn't have my life any other way.

My moni is in Rome

My precious daughter is in Rome at the moment. She went on a trip with school and it sounds like she is having a blast. We went to drop her off at the airport on Monday morning, I have to admit it was hard seeing her go. You feel as if she's out of your protective arms and that she is now going to figure out the world on her own. But I have all the confidence in the world for my Moni, I know she has a great head on her shoulders and she always makes the correct choices. She's an adorable person and she has a lot to offer to the world and the people she comes across. I know that she will come back with many a story to tell us and we will all sit in amazement, our hearts filled with joy to have her with us again. Sadly, this will be my very first Easter without my little girl, it's been us together for the last 16 years........and a lot has happened between those years, she's become such a sweet young lady. Always so loving to me and to her daddy. I hope that time will stand still for a little so I can enjoy her some more before she is off into the world on her own and on her way to creating her own family. I Love her so much.
