The day I became a parent for the first time was the moment I realized, everything I do from that day forward would impact the little life I brought home with me from the hospital. Immediately, I began to mentally strategize how to be the best mom for my newborn daughter!
When I was a kid, my mom was the prettiest mother on earth. She had long nails, smelled so sweet and was the coolest person I knew! I would stare at her for hours wishing I was as beautiful as she.
In the early 80’s, (during the Stone Age years, lol), banana clips were popular and my mom had every single color. Her hair was gorgeous! I snuck in her room and tried on each clip, but I could not style my hair the same way my mother did hers.
I didn’t care how much money she made or what she did or didn’t do right. All I cared about was how she inspired, loved, and respected the little girl then and later the woman I had become. I still seek her approval and call on her for advice because she is still the coolest woman I know!
Let me share 5 reasons why
1. My babies need my approval. If they don’t get it from me, they will surely seek it elsewhere.
2. My little princesses need my time and support. When I am able to be present for school-field trips, concerts, talent shows, track meets and races, or whatever event they participate in, the adoring looks I receive from them are priceless and melt my heart. The times we share mean more to them than any amount of money I give or gifts I buy.
3. God has instructed me to help my children find their purpose in life and then teach them how to live life to the fullest.
4. My children do not need a perfect mom, but they do need me to be honest, trustworthy, a woman of integrity, loyal and a mom that is dedicated to them.
5. My daughters need to see me make mistakes, admit to them and then take responsibility to correct them. I believe this will help my children learn how to be accountable for the decisions they make and learn to grow into mature, strong, loving, and passionate adults who desire what God wants for their lives too.
