Motherhood
“The highest and noblest work in this life is that of a mother.” Russel M. Nelson
This quote really hit home for me. I’m embarrassed to say, but before I was pregnant I had a terrible stigma of mom’s, especially stay at home moms. I thought they stayed home, crafted and worked out all day... How naive!!
Don’t get me wrong, I always wanted to be a mother, however, I thought I would get more fulfillment working and making money. For as long as I can remember, my goal was to get a degree, so I could work my way up in a company. I thought a career and money would make me feel fulfilled and important.
Pregnancy completely changed my perspective.
Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have learned that motherhood is the most important and hardest job that exists. My respect for mom’s has grown immensely.
I am so lucky to be able to stay home with Ellie. I receive so much fulfillment taking care of her and watching her grow. Time is so precious. Everyday is a day that I can’t take back. I am trying to enjoy every moment with my baby girl.
Becoming a mom has become my greatest blessing (tied with Kody;). Mothers need to be recognized because let’s be honest, it’s not easy. Actually, it’s dang hard. But the happiness and love that comes from being a mom is priceless. I’m so grateful the Lord had motherhood as apart of my plan. It is the best career I could’ve asked for!
