When I was a little girl I remember dreaming about what it would be like to be a wife and mom someday.
And for the last 13 years I have been living my dream.
And it has been wonderful and rewarding.
It has at times been extremely hard and much more emotionally draining then I ever imagined.
But it has always been worth it.
And even on the hardest days when I have questioned What in the heck have I gotten myself into?
I am always quick to remember that the commitments that I have made to my husband and children are sacred. Not only have I made commitments to them, I have made them with my Heavenly Father.
And then I am filled with peace.
And the spirit whispers to my soul that my role as a wife and mom is the most important thing I could be doing with my life.
I am filled with so much gratitude that my Heavenly Father loves me so much that He blessed me with 4 beautiful children and a best friend to share FOREVER with.
And when these beautiful truths fill me, I know without question that I am in the right place.
And it feels good.
Happy Mothers Day To Me.
And Happy Mothers Day to YOU!
A little late, I know.

loveliness ... you're neat.
serve with joy. i remind myself of this often. it's not about what they can do for me, it's what i can do for them. keeping this thought in the forefront of my mind makes all those more difficult times seem like really important moments for me to learn and grow, teach and lead.
i'm glad your husband knows how to use the stove top. seems i enjoy cooking a little too much ... i wonder if he even know how to turn it on? he must right? he's an electrician for h sakes!
p.s. love, love LOVE the teapot. teapots are my favorite.
Your kiddos are so great. I love that Rylie bought you flowers with her own money. They are obviously being taught how to show appreciation and love. You are a great mom.
That's awesome. Happy Mother's day!
So the next time your kiddo says "You're the worst mom in the whole world" (what your kids never say that!!!) Well anyway if they do go back to this post and remember how much they really love you.
Oh, Happy Mother's day Tonya! I loved this post! Aren't we so lucky to be moms?!! It is the most important job ever!
I love Sophia's poem. You will be a great "hair designer"!!
I love you MOM! (0:
