Keeping up with the boys…

Two growing boys a young adventurous dog plus a single mom some may think is a recipe for disaster. No way. In the seven years of being a mom, half of it on my own… (I was never really alone… shout out to Grandparents), I have discovered many ways to avoid the inevitable hair pulling moments. I have experienced the fighting over the toilet like no mother of girls will ever understand. The dreaded moment when you have to explain what things are swords and what is not acceptable to use. I have also experienced the joy of doing things most moms of boys would say are for the girls. Cooking, pedicures and sewing projects. I have strived to raise my boys to be well rounded and prepared for whatever life will throw at them. Everyday is a new challenge. Raising boys has its ups and downs but alone the way I have learned that no matter what gender, age or number of children you have life is full of more joy because of the bundles you get to hold in your arms and that a Mothers love never goes away nor does the need for it.  So cherish every moment. And remember it the next time you want to pull out your hair because you may be laughing about it later.
