Last Sunday ‘the Andrews’ helped throw a wonderful Mother’s Day celebration complete with breakfast, a few awesome presents, a BBQ with friends and the best gift….no diapers for a whole day!
And my reflections on my first Mother’s Day…First, I am so incredibly lucky to have such a sweet baby boy to call me mama. Second, being a mom is really hard. Being a mom with a full-time job seems almost impossible sometimes. Everyone said it was going to be hard but I didn’t believe them or thought I’d be able to rise above it. How stupid. So now having just a 6-month stint of the crazy, non-stop, endless schedule of a working mama with a house to manage and husband who works hard long days away from home- I can begin to truly appreciate my own mom in a whole new light. I’ve got an amazing mother who has defined for me what unwavering love, support and encouragement looks like. My goal as a new mama is to simply live up to the awesome example you’ve put in front of me for the last 32 years. xoxo Mom!
