Motherhood is:

I have often come across the quote "biology is the least of what makes a mother." and many variations including "father" and "parent".  So that got me thinking. What IS a mother? We all know mothers LOVE their children, but such a simple statement could never FULLY describe what a mother is to me, so I've come up with my own interpretations.

Motherhood is helping children reach THEIR potential, not YOUR ideals.

Motherhood is finding the courage to comfort as your knees are shaking.

Motherhood is beautiful.

Motherhood is snuggles at all the right times.

Motherhood is a shelter from the storm.

Motherhood is life-changing, for everyone involved.

Motherhood is like having another heart for each child, one that seems more fragile than their own.

Motherhood is like a book that re-writes itself everyday.

Motherhood is giving all you have, and wishing you had more.

Motherhood is under-rated.

Motherhood is safe.

Motherhood is worth every second.

Motherhood is holding back your giggles when your child 'misbehaves'.

Motherhood is love in it's truest form.

Motherhood is never finished.

Motherhood is all encompassing.

Motherhood is shaping the future.

I could write a million more...but at this current moment motherhood is calling ;)
