I Am That Mom...

Ever since I have become a mother of three I have come to conclusion that...
 I am that mom.

I am that mom who will all of a sudden break out into a silly dance move. Whether it's when we walk in the door from school, in the grocery store because I get an ounce of excitement, or we are simply having a dance party in the living room. My daughters most always laugh and giggle. Sometimes they may give me the "look." They have learned growing up with me as their mom I can be crazy but fun. I want them to learn to be able to let lose and not be to uptight. Have fun in life.

I am that mom who sings in the car while tapping my thumbs on the steering wheel. My daughter's have not complained yet. Matter of fact sometimes we break out into a mini choir. Okay not sometimes, most of the time, and I love it. Therefore our car rides are not usually on the quiet side. If you prefer a quiet carpool, we are not for you. Ha ha.

Sometimes I catch myself being that mom who says, "Because I said so."  or "It's for your own good" Don't tell me you have never ever said some sort of line like that to your children? Unless your not human. Of course those lines come as the last resort. After hours or days of explaining myself to my two and four year old why this holistic medicine that I made will make them feel better, but for some reason does not smell great. Another example from yesterday was, why snow can be good for you just like water. Over and over and over. You get my drift. Finally I was able to end that conversation by, only if it's not yellow. No questions from then on.

I'm being brave an adding a picture of me while in state of working! Ah! Working which is stay at home mom. And our lovely home under a make over. Have you ever bought a foreclosure? I don't think I will ever again.

I am that mom who does not like to sugar coat things. I'm not talking about sugar you bake with from your kitchen. I am all about preparing them for the real world. For the most part, you know age appropriate of course. I can't wait till their all old enough to volunteer with me at God's Kitchen or a food pantry. I think it's great for Children to see what it's like for other children who do not have what they do have.

I am that mom who tells my kids I love them more than you will ever know. I believe you can never tell a child you love them too much. Never hug a child too many times. Or kiss them on a check once to many. I may embarrass my oldest every morning at drop off, but deep inside I know she loves it and I need it too! How do I know my daughters are feeling the love I give them? Because they tell me all the time, out of the blue that they love me back.


What do you do as a mom that stands out?
