Motherhood isn’t just about one single rewarding moment..it’s a journey filled with growth, love, and countless little joys. Watching my children grow into who God intended them to be makes my heart smile. There’s nothing quite like looking at the life you created and feeling that deep, unconditional love it’s truly one of a kind.

I was lying in bed watching a movie when my younger boys came in to join me. A few moments later, another one climbed in, and before I knew it, we were all piled on top of each other. And these are teenagers, by the way! It’s so rare to get teenage boys to snuggle with their mom, but my heart was absolutely full.

As a mom, my first thought is always, "What do the kids need?" But knowing how hard we’ve worked to give them a good life, it’s just as important for my husband and me to take time for ourselves. Whether it’s a little getaway or finally booking that curly cut I keep putting off, we deserve something special too!
