Real Mothers: The Journey from Mommy to Mom to Mother

[tlag1986]

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
they don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
the vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
and get their answer when a little
voice says, 'Because I love you best..'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth
is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Dear fellow mothers,I couldn't agree more with this post. As a pampered chef consultant and a mother, I understand the struggles and sacrifices that come with motherhood. We often put our children and families before ourselves, which means our kitchens may not always be spotless or our meals may not always be gourmet.But that's the beauty of being a real mother. We may not have time to make quiche or perfectly clean floors, but we have something much more important - happy and loved children. And that, my fellow mothers, is what truly matters.I also love the progression of how a child views their mother throughout the years. From thinking we can do anything at 4 years old to wishing we could talk to our mothers at 65 years old, it shows the unconditional love and bond between a mother and child.And as the saying goes, true beauty is reflected in a woman's soul. The love, care, and passion that we give to our families is what makes us truly beautiful. So, let's embrace our messy kitchens and sticky floors, because they are a sign of a happy and well-loved family.Sending love and support to all the real mothers out there.Sincerely,
A fellow pampered chef consultant and proud mother.
