Mom life is wonderful, but it can be easy to get lost in the everyday chaos of parenting. What is new m<\/em>ath? Do those shoes still fit? Have you eaten a vegetable today? When is that dentist appointment? Do we REALLY have another PA Day coming up?? <\/em>It’s no surprise why we start to wonder about the reasons to be thankful for our kids.<\/p>\n

While I love my kids more than anything in the world, that love comes with extra feelings like guilt, worry, and exhaustion. There are times when you stare at your kids\u2019 beautiful faces and are overwhelmed with joy, and times you stare at the clock and count the minutes until bedtime. (For what it’s worth, the latter doesn\u2019t make you a bad person.)<\/p>\n

When things get crazy and I\u2019m beating myself up for forgetting to sign my kid\u2019s reading log because I was busy doing ONE HUNDRED OTHER THINGS, I like to take a deep breath and remind myself what really matters: that I have two incredible, smart, loving, hilarious children and more than anything in the world, I\u2019m so grateful to be their mom. I love them like crazy, I like them a lot and there\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be than with my family. So in honor of Thanksgiving,<\/p>\n

Reasons to be thankful for our kids:<\/h6>\n


\n1. They make me laugh<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know I\u2019m biased, but my kids are the funniest people in the whole world. (Yours probably are, too.) My son is the most ridiculous, quotable child on the planet, and my daughter has a dry wit that kills me. Even when they\u2019re driving me crazy, they crack me up. There is a happiness in our home that comes from constantly laughing together, and it’s priceless.<\/p>\n

2. All of the snuggles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not a day goes by without plenty of hugs, kisses and snuggles my kids. We are an affectionate family, and so far, they\u2019re not too cool to hug their mom goodbye at school drop-off every morning. I have already warned them that I\u2019m going to be that weird old mom in the Robert Munsch book who sneaks into their house and rocks them in the night, and they\u2019re okay with that (for now).<\/p>\n

3. We\u2019re always learning together<\/strong><\/p>\n

I may not understand new math, but I\u2019ve done my best to impart knowledge and values through my parenting. That said, my kids teach me just as much as I teach them. What a gift it is to learn and grow together every day, just by living life, having new experiences, thinking critically and talking about it all over dinner. I may not *need* to know what a giant isopod is but I do<\/em>, thanks to my kids.<\/p>\n

4. They make me experience childhood wonder all over again (but even better)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a parent means reliving all of the magical first experiences of childhood, from developmental milestones to that first concert or plane ride. The first time my son saw a sunset, he gasped and launched into a monologue about the colors and brilliant pattern of clouds across the sky. Every sight, taste, smell and feeling we\u2019ve grown accustomed to is new again, and it\u2019s beautiful to watch it all unfold through your children\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

5. They\u2019re good people<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you ask my kids, they\u2019re going to grow up to be a paleontologist\/filmmaker\/illustrator and an astronaut\/plasticine artist, but all I really want is for them to be good people – and they are. When I look at my children, I see kindness, empathy, enthusiasm and gentle, loving hearts. Yes, they are slowly destroying the couch and occasionally fight like rabid baby raccoons but still, they are wonderful people with an amazing future ahead of them. I\u2019m so grateful to be their mom, and thankful every day that they\u2019re mine.<\/p>\n
