Mother's Day 2016

This was my 5th Mother's Day. Five. The novelty will never wear off on me. I appreciate every single one. I earned every single one. Every single one that passes, I take a minute to remember just how sad this day used to be when I was not yet a mother. Infertility is a dark horse. You ride it everywhere. It gets to decide if you jump, or run, or stand paralyzed unable to move even one step forward.

This year I scooped up my kids, let them fill my arms while hugging and kissing them in between laughter. I couldn't help but be overcome with a thought: I don't know who or what I would even be without them. Had 5 more years passed and I still not become a mother - become part of what my soul was meant to become - I don't know. I shutter to think. Not every day with them is easy. As a matter of fact most days with them are not easy. I may find myself wishing for peace and quiet on the regular, but in the end it's them I want more than anything. The loud, irrational, funny, colourful, emotional, chaos they bring to my life is precisely what my life was missing before.

Because of them, now I fly around on a Unicorn.

We spent the day with some beautiful mamas...

These five gals are way too much!!!!
