MY MOMS LIST !!! Ever think about the mundane things we do, as moms, every day -- day in and day out? The little things ... the things that we would most certainly miss if they were to stop tomorrow. I have been thinking a lot about what being a mom means to me -- and so with that -- I have made a promise to myself to start appreciating my kids, and the time we have together, more. To not just get through each day -- but really enjoy each day -- because before we turn around these adorable little kids of ours will be all grown up. Below are things that I truly love about being a mom every day ... the moments that I sometimes take for granted ... just because they are a part of the daily routine. 1.Sweet hugs just because......... 2. Watching my kids when they sleep. 3. When my kids have nightmares I feel terrible for them, but I secretly love that they are crawling into bed for a cuddle. 4. I love that I can make them feel safe simply by being in the same room with them. If only I could make them feel that safe always ... 5. I love watching them charge full speed at my husband as he wrestles with them (even though I cringe, fearing someone will accidentally gets hurt.) 6. I get annoyed when I have to get up in the middle of dinner -- but I would miss it if it went away. 7. I love watching (and listening to) them with their friends. They act like such big kids and they do and say the cutest things. 8. When they play. 9. My son sleeping with his blanket. 10. Having to bribe them to eat the veggies on their plate. 11. Reading to my son duaa's hadith every night. 12. The way my son organizes his things 13. Getting to pick out their clothes each night. 14. Checking their homework each day . I secretly love finding mistakes because it makes me feel like I have helped teach them something. 15. ALL of my kids constantly stealing my Phone and the cat and mouse chase that ensues. 16. Watching my kids play together for hours and praying they stay best friends throughout their entire lives. 17.My oldest can be a pain sometimes but I wouldn't trade any of it. I adore 18. Their love for food and my having to field their constant request for some . 19. The visible joy on their faces when they figure out how to do something on their own ... a 20. The random "It's a nice day out, can't we please have a picnic outside ?" 21.Getting to read books again 22.Understanding and experiencing forgiveness 23.Being the one my children come to when they are afraid, happy, sad, or just want to hang out. 24.Late night chats with my teenager. 25.As I love on my children,I always think Allah loves us more than our mothers
