Mother’s Day: Letting Ourselves be Human

On this Mother’s Day as J.R.’s high school graduation approaches, I feel a major shift in my role as a mom.
I vowed to do all I could to be the best mom possible and set about reading every parenting book I could get my hands on.
The first, was going within as much as my busy mom life allowed, the second was being present for my boys to the best of my ability.
Through this process I learned being present is one of the hardest things in life, but also incredibly rewarding.
On this Mother’s Day, however it looks for you…joyful, hard, sad, celebratory…try to keep it all in perspective.
