Mommy Power is sleepness nights but finding the energy to make 2 hours of sleep work to your advantage. Mommy Power is a constant to do list that never gets finished but feeling proud of yourself when you can only check off one item. Mommy Power is not making any sense to anyone except yourself because you know exactly what you are trying to say. But most importantly Mommy Power is looking into the eyes of your child and feeling from the bottom of your heart that every minute is worth it when they smile back at you.

Mommy Power is our ability to love, laugh and learn- even when faced with the most difficult job on the planet. Mothers are amazing because we can love and protect another being with every ounce of our heart.. even while it’s spitting up, crying, throwing a tantrum or slamming a door in our face. We have the ability to hold three conversations at once, clean the house, teach a child, ignore bad behavior, pray for help, laugh at ourselves and love our children dearly… all at the same time! Do you know anyone else who holds that kind of power?

The ability to stop tears in their tracks with one look. The strength to hold back a curse word even when no other word can better convey your emotion. The will to drag yourself out of bed when you’re sicker than sick because you’re no longer just taking care of yourself. The intelligence to decipher a language not available to learn in any written form. The capacity to wipe someone else’s butt while simultaneously thinking you are the luckiest woman live. The humbleness in allowing yourself to weep every time your child does something new and magnificent. The super human force and extreme lengths you’d go to save your child from harm. That is mommy power.

I’ve always heard people talking about their motherly intuition and just knowing what their children need. As an outsider, this seemed ridiculous to me. I was sure this was just something that somebody said once as a joke and it caught on. There’s no way you can truly be that intuitive, right?

And then it happened. I was weeks away from my next period, but I knew without a doubt that my baby was coming. I couldn’t have described how I knew to anyone and I didn’t even try to for fear that I was wrong, but I silently prepared Read more »

Mommy Power is recognizing the simplicity of the little moments that capture your child’s heart.

Mommy power is the ability to laugh at the odd shaped chocolate chip cookies your two year old made and tell her they are a work of art!!. Mommy power is sending your eleven year old to a new school even when you can see the fear in her eyes because you know that it is for the best. Real mommy power comes from that inner strength that lets your daughter know that Mommy is not perfect, far from it. At the same time you let her know that imperfection is ok.

Mommy Power is digging deep and making many personal scarifies. You don’t realize the level of this sacrifice when you first decide to have a baby and no one really tells you either. I guess they don’t want to scare you away from the amazing experience ahead of you.

To me, Mommy Power is realizing that everything you do and say influences your child’s view of the world. This is both, a terrific challenge and a terrific opportunity. Being authentic and turning life experiences into learning experiences is a full time job, and I often learn in the process! I’ve certainly made my share of mistakes, but seeing my little one evolve into a creative, kind, generous soul is the best reward ever!

When you love someone so completely, it can only be your child. Whether you birthed it or not is irrelevant to that divine love. With that deep love is a force of fierce protection and responsibility that cannot be measured either. And that is the wellspring of Mommy Power.

For me “Mommy Power” is I finding inspiration in all the moms I meet. I am truly humbled by the women I have gotten to know since becoming a mom. We all know women in our lives who well for lack of a better word just rock. They’re the go- to -gals when life or parenting has got ya down!!! They’re the ones who are there for you when you really need a good friend with a kind word or help make you laugh.
