What a great wake up call!
I stumbled up on this site and just loved this idea, so I am passing it along. If you take the challenge with me, please post a link in the comments to the post with your list.
What makes you a great mom?
Think of those things that set you apart from your friends and their children. What do you see yourself doing a lot of that perhaps you wish your mother would have done? I am sure you can come up with plenty, but these are just the top 10!
10 Reasons I am a great mom!
You are an awesome mom! You get those little ones up each day and keep them fed and clean and stop them from killing each other. Is it trivial stuff that makes you the mom that you are? Perhaps, but their world’s would not be the same without you.
Sometimes we need a reminder that we are doing a great job.
It makes your bond with your children grow stronger when you feel like you are great mom. And you are! Take some time today and write down what you did that makes you exceptional. {Dad’s..this is for you, too 😉 }
Here is my list:
- I think about my kids every minute of every day.
- I listen and don’t judge when they just want to talk.
- I teach them to be thoughtful to everyone no matter what.
- I teach them to be smart about money.
- I teach my kids to recycle and be kind to the earth.
- I let them make forts and go camping in the living room.
- I play games with my kids, like back when no one had a computer.
- I still tuck my kids in and tell them goodnight EVERY night.
- I still read to my kids and listen when they want to read to me.
- I karaoke with my kids, in the car.
