Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! I feel like I joined a not-so-secret club once I became a mom. Motherhood is more complex and amazing than I could have ever imagined. I hope today you feel special and loved by your spouse and children! I pray your family pours into you as you do to them every single day. You are awesome, and the work you’re doing matters!

Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is…and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”
Alternate title: Making Me Very Happy 
Going for walks with these two always helps to clear my mind. Roo and I get home after work, Eric meets us in the garage with the stroller and off we go! Rooney is happiest in the stroller, and Eric and I use this time to catch up on the day and give each other undivided attention. Rooney points out all the fire hydrants and puppies, and I can’t help but notice the most beautiful clouds in the sky, the handsome guy next to me and the loveliness of a (mostly) quiet neighborhood.
When we arrive back at 505, the only thing that entices Roo out of her stroller is the lure of her high chair, on the deck, where we share dinner.
Oh, spring! Thank you for your wonderousness. Don’t tell autumn I said this, but you might be winning me over.
