Wordless Wednesday: Jacob on Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

Being a Mom is a privilege. I know for some motherhood isn't a path for them. I respect that. For me, I would have missed out on a lot in my life if I didn't have Jake.



Yes, do I miss sleep. Yes, I don't get to sleep as often as I like. Jake always wants to know where I am, what I'm doing and how he can join in.



Being a Mom requires Patience! See how I capitalized the P in Patience. I did that for a reason. You must be patient through the tantrums, the excessive no's, the wanting to play ball for 15 minutes when you are bone tired. You take a deep breath, stay calm and be as kind, loving and patient with your child.



It is so worth it all. When you get frequent hugs, kisses, have your child read to you or ridiculously laugh for no reason. The best part is that I know Jake and I will always be close. That warms my heart. Happy Mother's Day.💝



P.S. Don't forget to follow me on Snapchat as Jake and I go on adventures together.

Happy Mother's Day

I remember when I first had Jake. I use to marvel at all
the other mothers I see. They appeared so calm and confident. I felt awkward and unsure. What I learned, like most things in life, there is a learning period. Now, being a mom is second nature to me. I always tell people I feel like Jacob was always here. I know the unsure mom I was in 2011 would be pleased at the mom I am now in 2015.

I am wishing all the mother's out there a wonderful Mother's Day. Being a mom comes in many different forms.

Here are recent pictures of Jacob and I.

This is Jake and I doing a selfie together in January.


This is Jake and I coming back from 150th anniversary of NYFD. They had an open house of firehouses all over the city. We went to the firehouse near us. Had a great time. Jake loves firetrucks.
