Kate is the loving mother of Elyse. She is one of my sister, Lori's, best friends and I'm so glad I have been able to get to know her. We've had a few of the same struggles with motherhood [ie our children refused to nap!] so I've been able to get advice from her and I'm so grateful for that. Visit her blog here. Thanks to Kate for being here today!
When Jen asked me to write a guest blog about what I love most about being a mother, I thought it would be easy. It’s not. In fact, it’s impossible for me to pick just one, or even a few things that I love most when being a mother is the most incredible thing I have ever experienced. What is easy to say is that the past 14 months have been the most amazing in my life and that’s because of Elyse. I literally feel giddy every time I see her. Her sweet hugs and wet kisses warm my heart and I completely melt when she smiles. I adore her small voice, her infectious laugh and yes, even her cry. There is nothing better in the world than seeing her sunny face when I walk into the room to get her up in the morning, or cuddling with her while she’s wrapped up tight in a towel just after her bath, or sitting together snuggling and reading stories. Having a child makes every day so much more special and fun, and I find myself getting sentimental over just about everything. Every moment is precious. Being a mother makes me feel full of life and abundant love and there is no greater honor or blessing.

Kate, I love your post. The things you talked about made me smile because I love all of those things about motherhood too. Thank you for posting on my blog today :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a natural at motherhood. You own it like no one else and I love seeing you in this new chapter in your life. Even on hard days, it's easy to remember that THESE ARE THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Love you.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I could have gone on and on about how much I love being a mom but I started to feel like I was just babbling!
