It has been such a blessing to have my daughter in my life. She kept me going when I thought all was lost in my world. She makes me laugh- at her and at myself.

No matter how much I try to tame the pink & sparkle in her life, she would bathe in it daily if I let her. (I am not a fan of pink... As in despise the color! Im a neutral woman; blacks, grays, tans, whites..occasional blue or green Those are my style) B swoons at the sight of a pretty pink dress, or pink shoes, or pink sunglasses, pink pink pink... BLAH!

Blah is the way I used to feel about her love for pink, but I am starting to embrace her love for it. To watch her eyes light up and look at me for approval, it is the sweetest and melts my heart.

She is beautiful from the depth of her soul to the tips of her toes. She is innocent, full of wonder, admiration, joy, laughter, and sweetness!

For Mothers day she was asked by her teacher "why do you love your mom?" Now before I get to what she said... My instant thoughts were she loves me because... I get her fruit snacks, we stay up late at night and watch movies, she loves to snuggle with me, play with my hair or something else that a three year old would say about their mom. But her answer is so much more.. I may not like sparkles and pink and glittery things, but she does. And loving me because I'm sparkly means the world to me. I make her world sparkle and that is all I needed for Mothers day.

I hope you all had a wonderful Mothers day and find the joy in the little things your children love but you may not. What seems so small may mean the world to them. Encourage their imagination and creative spirits. Let them have their own personality and allow it to flourish. You are only young once!
