Editor’s Note: As part of our Mom’s Week celebration, we asked our blog contributors to write a special post entitled, “Love, Mom” Throughout the week we will be sharing their posts with you. We hope you enjoy them and it inspires you to take a few moments to write to the most important people in your life and to sign it “Love, Mom”.

Dear kids,
It’s been less than 3 years since I became a mommy for the first time, but already my life is so different thanks to you both! In some ways, I’m a better person and mom than I thought I could be, and in other ways…I’m probably worse.


I’ve learned a lot of things too. How to exist on far less sleep than I ever thought possible, how to cloth diaper, how to laugh when I feel like crying, and how to share parenting duties with your daddy. I’ve found myself doing all kinds of homemaker-type things that I never thought possible, like making baby food and bread, cleaning with only vinegar and baking soda, and creating homeopathic remedies from kitchen ingredients and essential oils.
I pray that the things you learn from me over the years are the good things, and any of the ways that I fail will be forgotten. I hope that we can continue to laugh and grow together, even when it’s difficult. I will never give up on you, which is a believe I take from my faith in God, who has never given up on me.
My sweet little ones, I love seeing you grow! I am thankful for you every day!
Love, Mom
