Simply Motherly

This blog is designed to open up about the many roles a mother plays and the many hurdles that a mother must cross in order to raise baby. I became a mother at the age of 18 and had to learn very quickly what the whole role of mother actually was. I had the help and support of my mother, grandmother, and other numerous family members but that didnt make it as easy as I thought it would be. Help and support is not always the reality for some. There are not always baby's fathers and other family members there to help with raising children. This of course, does not take away from the blessing at hand. Becoming a mother is the most wonderful thing that I have accomplished within my 20 years of life. It is not a burden but something I wake up smiling to do each and every day. I would like to encourage all mothers to focus on life and the joys of motherhood instead of the what ifs of life and what could have been. Life is to short and children are true blessings so my advice to all mothers is to appreciate being able to be called MOM because some individuals will never experience such a joy!!
