First Entry

I am a mom who has a 3 year old son and a 1 year old daughter, and a terrific high school sweetheart husband. They are all my pride and joy. I never thought I could possibly be in love with all of them so much. It's a non-stop job that is worth every minute. Every age they turn I never want them to get older because they are so precious. Although it is pretty nice when they start doing things for themselves :-). The saying I try to live by is, "It is not how much you've done for your children in the end, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings." I believe as a mom it is incredibly hard to let your children do for themselves and not do everything for them. I feel like I grow with them as they grow for themselves. I learn so much from them just as much as they learn from me. They teach me how important life is and how to be more happy, playful, and live life fully. I feel like I am a successful mother not because I am perfect but because I keep trying everyday. I also feel like having Tony as a husband is the most support I could have ever dreamed of. We are an amazing team that works very well together. Nothing is better than having someone who is on the same page as you when you're raising your children. It is the best feeling in the world. I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect life. We have so much love, respect and admiration for eachother. I had a friend come over and she told us that we all have so much love for eachother. I teared up thinking to myself that was the best compliment anyone has ever given me.
