Wow, yet another awesome Mommy Fest contest going on and I have to say this is my favorite one. It’s called What I’ve Learned Since I Became a Mom and here goes.

Since I became a mom I’ve learned many things and continue to learn more and more each day. Here are just a few of the things on my long list:

1. God has an amazing way of giving us things to make us stop and realize just how short and precious life is.
2. Boys WILL bring home bugs, worms, and just about anything else they can fit in their pocket…dead or alive.
3. Even a 2 yo big brother will be protective of his baby sister.
4. A 10 yo big brother will be the first to pick a fight or argument with his younger brother, but no one else better even let the thought of giving his brother a hard time cross their minds.
5. I’m lucky enough at this point that my children still tell me they love me without being embarrassed. On the flipside of that I’ve learned that the day will come when it won’t be cool to hug and kiss mom goodnight and tell her you love her in front of all your buddies. And later down the road, the hugs and love you’s will reappear in my life!
6. Kids have a way of taking even the worst day and making it all fade away with just one smile.
7. Kids make you much more open minded about certain things in life and much more closed minded about others (read: cleaning your room is NOT an option, seat belts aren’t either)
8. The list could go on and on, but the biggest and best thing I’ve learned since I became a mom is this:  A mother’s love for her child is so strong that no other love could ever compare to it!

So, how about you?  What have you learned since you became a mom? Leave me a comment and let me know and then head over to Mommy Fest and join in the meme.

Five Things About This Mom

1. I’m the mom of 2 boys and 1 girl and won’t have anymore children due to the fact I had surgery to tie my tubes this last time.

2. I work at home as a Virtual Assistant and an Internet Marketer.

3. Right now I’m battling with a bit of the blues, because I chose to stop breastfeeding my 1 month old little girl just this past weekend. I know I didn’t HAVE to stop and right now a big part of me feels guilty for stopping.

4. I’ll be 30 next month and it doesn’t bother me one tiny bit.

5. I just finished my lunch (taquitos) and I’m still hungry!
