I really love that word: Mamma. It's sound and it's meaning. But especially hearing it from my girls.
Both times before conceiving our girls I yearned for them, dreamt about them and gave thanks to the universe when they arrived.
Yesterday at little miss three's pre-school I was treated to a cupcake {decorated by my girls} and some hair styling at the kinder's hair salon to celebrate Mother's Day {this Sunday here}. I kept thinking how amazing and fun being Mamma to my girls is.
Being a mother has shown me a new kind of love. A love that grows and grows and
expands from deep inside me and extends further in each moment of each day as my babies grow. For that love {the love we share} I have gratitude, joy and so much wonder.
But I'm grateful too for the way motherhood challenges me, invites me to grow and teaches me a little more about the me I want to be each day.
