The Mommy In Me

Drives me to nurture those who are less able than I


Compels me to teach proper habits to those that I love


Instills in me the importance of good hygiene, no matter how dirty the job


Overwhelms me at times when I fear that I may not be good enough

Encourages me to put on my mommy shoes each day and serve with a smile


I love that my girls have been showing so much interest in doing mommy things lately. They love to help me cook and clean and wash each others hair. It's fun to see them express motherly qualities at such a young age. They remind me a lot of myself when I was little.

SOO cute! Love the butt wiping picture :)
I have a son and daughter and my son as sweet as he is and as much as he helps, there truly is something that is just part of nature when I see how my daughter already tries to mother everyone.
