I'm Not Magical Mommy

“I’m not magical mommy”- This vital statement was stated when I began to take a closer look at myself and realized I had become overwhelmed with all the jackets that I had worn for years as a mom. I understood that I had made the choice to have a child, but felt it wasn’t a life sentence! This was the critical moment when I began to reflect how I quieted a crying infant, consoled fussy preschoolers, worried about adolescence and pre-teens, and tearfully said good-bye’s to children that had become adults. I learned that being a parent takes strength and love. I realized that being a “mother” is purely magical !
