Motherhood Is….
Motherhood is doing whatever it takes for this one….
Motherhood is being that mom who when she discovers that there is a party that is going, will be late for work so that she can frantically run to the store to get a fruit and cheese plate, along with gluten-free cookies, so her child will have something to eat at the class party.
Since the room mom forgot/didn’t care that my child couldn’t eat Dunkin Donuts, muffins, and Chick-fil-A biscuits.
Motherhood is frantically running to three groceries stores on said morning because the first one didn’t have anything and the 2nd’s looked like wilted, 5-day old leftover platters.
Motherhood is rushing back, only to have your child look at you crazy because “it’s ok Mama, I drank some juice.”
Motherhood is putting some of that fruit and cheese on his plate anyway and telling him..EAT IT.
Motherhood is realizing that your child doesn’t care. He’s fine. It’s YOU who is making such a big deal.
Motherhood is cursing out the room mom in your mind because SHE KNEW that your child couldn’t eat anything, but she just shrugs her shoulders when you gently remind her that NEXT time, you would love a heads up…
Motherhood is rushing back to your computer, eating a piece of a Chick-fil-A biscuit because you didn’t get breakfast OR coffee rushing around for your child.
Motherhood is soldiering on because…
That’s motherhood.

Motherhood Is… is a blog circle that celebrates motherhood through photographs.
Motherhood is LOVE! I see it all in you! Beautiful post! Love the action shots of your son!
Motherhood can be a crazy thing sometimes!! It always amazes me how much a mother is able to get done while putting her child needs above her own needs. Your son is adorable in these photos!
We do put that pressure on ourselves and the kids are like mom it’s okay. As a room mom I will say that I have no idea who can’t eat what the teacher never gave us a list but we do have Halloween coming up next week and I will make sure I ask the teacher before I bring anything so I can be fair to the entire class
Sounds about right. Motherhood, in all its craziness, is awesome. I’m mad at the room mom for you. That shoulder shrug doesn’t cut it…
These are beautiful! And what a great reminder for all parents when hosting parties for little ones who might have food allergies. I am glad your little one understood so much more than we give kids credit for. Deep breaths!! and hugs!
Very nice post! And you are right, moms probably worry more than the kids do over what’s actually going on.
This is really really wonderful!
This is awesome! Motherhood is absolutely all of the above and so much more. We each [Mothers] make so many sacrifices, extra trips and out of the way journies to be certain our child is taken care of above and beyond. Great post…wonderful!
All of that! That is simply amazing!
This is an adorable post! It’s been many years since my boys grew up and left the nest but I still feel like I mother them on a daily basis! They’re never too old for Mom! 🙂 Thank you for sharing this wonderful article and I wish you and your family the very best! 🙂
