Is there anything greater than being a boy mom?
Happy Mother’s Day, friends! What a truly special day.
My little boys are my greatest blessing and bring me the deepest joy. Nothing beats being a boy mom, for me. It is such a privilege to be able to have them and know they are mine.
I feel so lucky to have the sweetest souls teaching me how to be a better person. I’m honored to be their mother (and to hear one actually say “mommy”).
After I had Oliver, I prayed that our next baby would be another little boy. Oliver has been such a dreamboat and mama’s boy that I hoped I could be a “boy mom”, even if for just a bit. There’s just something about the connection and relationship between a mother and her son.
I am thankful I get to experience that with both of my boys!
Words cannot express how grateful, lucky, and blessed I feel to be these sweet little boys mother.
So with that, Happy Mothers day to all mothers out there! I hope your day is full of love, and blessings.
Believe it or not, this photo above was not staged. I was reading some books to Oliver in Roman’s nursery and I yelled out to Pedro to come quick with the camera. He came running and snapped these 2 photos for me. I will treasure these photos – especially because they are so our life right now.
** I also have to mention something. I always feel a little bad posting on Mother’s Day – almost like I’m bragging and in-your-face I’m so happy to be a mother. I recognize that this is a very difficult day for many women. And I want to be sensitive to that.
I saw this quote on instagram, and I think it is SPOT ON:
“Eve was given the identity of ‘the mother of all living’ -years, decades, perhaps centuries before she ever bore a child. It would appear that her motherhood preceded her maternity. I believe mother is one of those very carefully chosen words, one of those rich words – with meaning after meaning after meaning.
We must not, at all costs, let that word divide us. I believe with all my heart that it is first and foremost a statement about our nature, not a head count of our children… Some women give birth and raise children but never ‘mother’ them. Others whom I love with all my heart ‘mother’ all their lives but have never given birth.” – Patricia T Holland, Ensign October 1987
