Arise and Laugh

You are a M.O.M. when.....
your heart is warmed by a bear hug from a little one.

I love these hugs and the warmth that feels my heart everytime. I never want to let go. I started receiving these kinds of hugs when I was a teenager and sharing my life with little ones in my neighborhood, and then on to when I was a nanny, and then on to my own little ones. So who gives you hugs?

Arise and Laugh

You are a M.O.M. when....
your loved one is going out of town and before they even leave your heart aches for them to come back.

Last night my cute significant other was asleep as I worked in bed next to him and every so often I would nudge him to stop snoring (it was ruining my concentration), and he would say I miss you already. So cute! How do you feel when your loved one leaves?

Arise and Laugh

You are a M.O.M. when....
when your love is freely given without expecting any in return.

Although I know without a shadow of a doubt that this is true...
"The heart that gives-gathers." Hannah Moore

Arise and Laugh

You are a M.O.M. when.....
your "heart" grows bigger with each slobbery kiss, with each hand held, and with each "I love you."

I remember thinking when I was about to have my second child "How am I ever going to love this next child as much as my first?" Then the child came and my heart expanded more than I ever thought possible. I think this happens every time we open ourselves up for love. I hope during National Heart Month you open yourselves up for a little more love in your life.
