I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for JOHNSON’s Baby. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I hope all of you moms out there are enjoying a fantastic and well deserved Mother’s Day. Being a mom is hands down the best “job” I’ve ever had, and I’ve only been at it for about two years now!
Each year, my favorite way to spend Mother’s Day is just being with my family. We usually get together with my husband’s side of the family on Saturday {since they live nearby} and then Sunday is spent just the three of us {soon to be four of us}. It’s a day to unplug and just enjoy the entire reason that I’m celebrated, because of my children.
Now, I’m sure you know all too well that everyday being a mom isn’t all sunshine and lollipops. There are rough days too, you know what I’m talking about.
The days that the second you clean up a mess a new one has formed.
The days that your little one is sick and you feel like there is nothing you can do to make it better.
The days when your toddler decides he doesn’t need to wear his diaper and squats behind the couch on your newly cleaned rugs to leave his mark. {I’ll spare you a picture of that one}.
But then there are the wonderful moments full of hugs & kisses, picked dandelions or “fowers” as my son calls then, and witnessing your little one learn and grow.
Those good moments far outweigh the moments and sometimes days that are tough. Those are the days that always give me the reassurance that I’m doing more than “okay” as a mom. Some might call me “supermom”.
So today, if you haven’t had a chance to recognize a mom in your life, I encourage you to give a Johnson’s Baby Cares card to her by clicking here. For every card sent, shared, or liked, Johnson’s Baby will donate $1.00 to Save the Children, up to $150,000 to benefit early childhood education. You can share this card {and honestly as many as you’d like} with any mom. Maybe it’s a mom that you know is having a hard time, perhaps she’s trying to juggle work and family life, or maybe she’s just starting out on this whole mom adventure and could use a little encouragement. Whatever the reason, let her know that you care and you’re thinking about her while helping out this awesome cause!
Happy Mother’s Day! You’re doing GREAT!
