“Motherhood has just shown me there’s really nothing we can’t do as women. I feel really empowered having my kids in my life. By far, my greatest accomplishment is having them.”

A Momma loves when her baby says MA MA the 1st time.

They motivate me. I hope that my kids can look at me and say, ‘Anything is possible. Mommy went after what she wanted to achieve and she did it.’ Hopefully, I can pass down those nuggets of inspiration to them to go after what they want to do in their lives.”

I really do believe that my kids have leveled up my life. It’s made me more responsible, more patient, even more compassionate for others… They make me go hard.

“When I look at you, it makes me proud of myself! I can’t wait to see the Woman you will become one day! You can literally do anything you put your mind to! I’m so proud to be your Mommy.”

I think being a mom gives you more compassion in life and more love in your heart.

“Sometimes when you’re going through emotions, you don’t even realize what happens. To really say, ‘Wow, I’m a mom and I’m doing all right,’ felt good...”

It’s crazy because you’ve never done it [motherhood] before and it sounds like this foreign concept, but then your maternal instinct kicks in and you really do figure it all out.

“When you have two kids it’s double the love. With Russ, Future, and Sienna, I have an abundance of love, so it just feels really good”

Being a mom is not about doing what everybody else does. You might take some inspiration and advice, but it’s really about designing your own game plan.

“I feel like, if I could look back in a crystal ball when I was a little girl and I looked at the idea of my family and what it would be for me, it’s exactly this.”

It’s okay to have the not-so-pretty days in parenting and in motherhood; it’s important to remind every mom about that. And sometimes you’ve got to just take a deep breath.

“We worked hard for everything that we have, and I think it's always important to remind our kids of that because they definitely are at a much better starting point than we were when we were younger.”

As parents, your job is never-ending. It can be mentally challenging for any mom, no matter how great you are, no matter how awesome your kids are.

Your children challenge you, and you challenge them back. If we can be consistent and persistent, and always put a touch of love in there, it all works itself out.”
