Sometimes you have to take the time to toot your own horn. You have to be the one to say you've done a good job. Many call it bragging but in reality if you do it in moderation (as with everything else) it is actually good to lift your self-esteem. You see, you toot your own horn because being a mother of small children - no child is going to tell you that you did a good job.
So here I am - saying I rocked it in Mom World yesterday!
We made gingerbread cookies, (no fighting) decorated them, (still no fighting) and delivered them to 3 different families in our town.
The kids went in their PJ's after bath to deliver them but they had a great time doing it. Like Brel said - "we ave FUN, mommy. I yike saying mewwy chwistmas!" Maybe being a mom isn't the most rewarding job as I wipe dirty butts, clean snotty noses, or listen to my kids whine and fight. But moments like this are totally worth it.
Did I have the camera out to capture the moment - nope, cause I was to busy living it with my kids. Flour everywhere - sprinkles in places I'll never find. But that's alright because one day I'll dig deep in my memory and pull those photos out. Too bad they haven't invented a detachable memory stick for the mind that is downloadable and printable to a computer.
Enjoy your Christmas season - we are!

Raegen,
Love the idea of a memory stick for our brain:) I too wish I could capture these moments when it's too much of a distraction to grab the camera... these years are flying by too fast!! Thanks for sharing your stories!
