I'm not that kind of Mommy.
You know the one.
Fun.
Easy going.
Care-free.
Go-with-the-flow.
Spontaneous.
Crazy.
Goofy.
At least when left to my own natural tendencies I am none of the above.
But in an effort to make memorable moments for my children and their childhood, I stretch myself to be some of the above.
So on Wednesday when it started down pouring, I sent my children outside. In the rain. Barefoot.
I let them run and play and splash. And get {really} dirty. And make a mud hole in our yard.
And we loved every single minute.

My own tendency is to not be that kind of mom either, but like you, I try to let go of my inhibitions at times to make great memories for my children. It is always worth it! :)
Good for you Tiff! Isn't it awesome? To see that freedom and joy in their eyes. I love it and live for it!!! You're a great mom♥ How was Father's Day?
Good. For. You!!!! Isn't it so hard to MAKE yourself be fun somedays? Haha, I'm serious! I know exactly what you're talking about.
They are so blessed to have you. Sweet baby #3 is going to be blessed, too.
Love to you, Tiff!

Aw yay! Stuff like this always seems to be what sticks out best in their memories! I think the girls make it a point to have a least one good mud pit a year :)
Oh, that does look like fun! I'm sure the kids had a blast.
