How so very beautiful my boys are!

My first thought when I first saw this image was gosh our love shines, how so very beautiful my boys are... Followed by tears. But you see... That's the new me, the mom in me. The old me would have immediately thought... omg how big is my mouth, that I would have never ever thought of sharing this, today I share this with you cause it's the most joyous image of us. It's how I want to remember mothering these two boys of mine.... All the fun and happy times we share. I've come to learn a few very important things in this motherhood journey of mine and I want to share them with you.

🚺When someone tells you that you're beautiful, believe them. They aren't lying
🚺For every woman unhappy with her stretch marks is another woman who wishes she had them.
🚺Everyone has rolls when they bend over
🚺You should definitely have more confidence. And if you saw yourself the way others see you, you would.
🚺It's okay to not love every part of your body....but you should.
🚺We all have that one friend who seems to have it all together. That woman with the seemingly perfect life. Well, you might be that woman to someone else.
🚺You should be a priority. Not an option, a last resort, or a backup plan.
... And most importantly...
🚺You're a woman. That alone makes you pretty damn remarkable. 💕

Now, it's your turn, tell me something that you hold dear to you after becoming a mama. I can't wait to hear you, but be warned I may save for my own notes.
