On June 5, 2006, my identity as a woman changed forever. I became known as "Mallory's mommy".
December 18, 2007 changed my name again. I was now known as "Mallory and Morgan's mommy".
I'm in the middle of reading Sacred Marriage. In one of the recent chapters, Gary Thomas talked about how marriage is like a mirror reflecting your true self (totally paraphrased by me). I'm sure in his other book, Sacred Parenting, he probably says that parenthood is an even bigger mirror!
I won't say that motherhood has always made me look the most beautiful at times, but it is definitely the most rewarding thing I have yet to do. It's overwhelming to think about the responsibility I have in the life of these two precious girls:
The love overflows, the discipline is hard, the hugs are amazing, the spontaneous "I love you Mommy" is enough to make even the hardest day better, and the joy that I feel being their mother is unending. 
I had a wonderful Mother's Day (and eve). Brad sent me away Saturday to spend some cash however I saw fit. I didn't come home for 5 hours!! I also got some beautiful begonias planted in the pots by our front door. We went to church yesterday and heard an encouraging sermon on being a wise momma. It was followed by a yummy brunch/lunch at Cracker Barrel. Mmm!
What a blessing to be Mallory and Morgan's mommy! And, what a blessing to be at home with both of them and watch as they learn and grow!
