As Mother's Day is Around The Corner...

....it gets me thinking about how much being a Mom has changed me. Gone are the days of spending all my money on myself, hanging out with my friends, going on vacations, coming and going as I pleased. Here are the days where I practically live Monday to Friday in yoga pants and tank-tops. I've traded in my shoes & boots for sneakers and flip-flops. Fashion for comfort. I even learned how to cook!!! I never thought that would happen....and neither did your Father. And you know what? I wouldn't change a single thing. I love my life. I love being your Mom. I so much enjoy seeing the world through your eyes. The excitement you get when you see a balloon in the grocery store. Or when you recognize a shape on a street sign. The sheer joy in your eyes when I mention the playground. When you wake up in the morning and run to me yelling MOMMY! MOMMY! I don't know anybody in the world that gets that happy to see me.

You are everything to me Liv. I promise to be the best mother I can be and to be the best person I possibly can. I want you to grow up knowing that everything I do and evey decision I make I think about you first. I want you to grow up to be a good person. I don't care if you are a doctor or work at McDonalds. As long as you are your true self and are happy, then that is all I want for you. I want you to always be my little girl; but I promise you I will give you the space and freedom you need when the time comes. Gosh, you are growing up so fast. You're TWO. The last two years have flown by and before I know it you will be starting grade primary. I am going to cherish every single moment of being home with you. I love you my angel.

Always and Forever,

Mommy
