Did you dream of being a mom as a little girl? What kind of mom did you dream of being?
Was your mom awesome? What kinds of things made her awesome?
Or, maybe you wish your relationship with your mom was better...what kinds of things could you do differently with your kids to make that happen?
When your children were babies, what kind of mom did you dream of being? What did you dream of doing with them?
When your kids get older, what kinds of things do you want them to remember about their childhood?
Grab a sheet or two of paper. Take some time to really think about the mom you dreamed of being. Jot down some ideas of the mom YOU want to be. Forget about the perfectly decorated house, the Pinterest-perfect parties and crafts and REALLY think about what experiences you want with your kids.
- Picture you and your child having a perfect day together--what are you doing?
- What would your child LOVE to do with you?
- What kinds of things do you not want to miss out on with your kids?
- What do you want your kids to remember about their childhood?
