On a regular bases my husband Brad often says channing, you need a hobby (like scrap booking or crafting of some sort.) although what he does not know is that every day I work very hard at my hobby! Being a freaking fantastic mom is my hobby! Or as my friend Erin would say being the next June Cleaver except I am more modernized. I do have a full time job that I absolutely love which when I am working and not on maternity leave a lot of my time is spent on my next "work goal." I try an set a goal to achieve such as a promotion or take on an extra task at work. Much like my work goals I set Super-Mom goals.
I am a firm believer that you are either at good mom or a freaking fantastic mom. I do not believe in a bad mom; I believe in a biological baking oven that does not give someone the right to be called mom. In my book, a freaking fantastic mom goes that one extra mile (or maybe a couple of miles). Someone who bakes cookies or cupcakes with their child for their birthday or school party rather than going to the grocery and buying them. Your child isn't going to care if they don't taste as good as wal mart or kroger's cupcakes, it's the simple fact that they made them (helped you)! You are making memories people not buying them!!! "Oh yeah, do you remember that one time we went to Kroger and you bought me cupcakes for my class?" WTH who is going to remember that! Making cupcakes and cookies or anything at matter is going to be great no matter how bad or good they taste or look. The most important thing anyone can ever give someone else or their child is their time. Time is one thing we all have in common; we don't have much of it but it is one of the greatest gifts you can give another.
Just a reminder, these are all MY opinions. All my statements start with I believe or I think and ect. These are not proven facts; these are just some thoughts. I don't want to offend anyone. :o)
