Welcome to Motherhood Moments! Here is a little background to how this blog began, and how it got its name. More than 2 years ago, I sat listening to a talk by M. Russell Ballard. These words caught my attention, "...the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction." These words rang so true, and have stayed with me ever since. Yes, there are definitely hard and frustrating times: sleepless nights, tantrums, sibling fighting, endless messes to clean up, potty training . . . just to name a few. But then there are the moments of joy: hearing "I love you," when your child says "mama" for the first time, the beautiful sound of a baby's laugh, the hugs, the funny things they say . . . and many more. These joyful moments make all of the challenges worth it! Hearing that talk inspired me to try harder to recognize and enjoy these special moments. I have also learned along the way that I can
purposely make these moments happen more often. As I try harder to give each of my boys individual attention and plan purposeful, fun activities for us to do together, we are
all happier!
I plan to use this blog as a place to:
1.) store and organize my ideas (and the fabulous ideas I find from other sources) to use again in the future
2.) share my ideas with others
3.) recognize and record the joyful moments
Thank you for visiting Motherhood Moments!
