I feel like people try and define all the things that make up a good mom and I’ve seen almost all the new tear-jerking commercials or YouTube videos out there that are meant to show you the long, crazy list of things moms do for their kids and family. Don’t get me wrong, I could probably go on and on about the things that my mom did/does for me or the crazy hoops I go through for my kiddo and hubby.

However, all those things are combined into one main thing that makes up a great mom: they love their kids.

The love that moms have for their kids is different from any other love, it’s what drives all the crazy stuff we do for our kids.

I think love is the most important aspect because if we start listing everything we do for our kids it starts to be a competition and which mom gives up more than the next.

Moms do what they can to love their kids and that is why I love and cherish my mom: because she loves me for me.
