Mommy’s Happy List

0

happy happinessIt has been said from time to time that “we are in control of our own happiness,” but let me change that phrase just a bit to “Mommy makes her own happiness.”

In fact, Mommy does make her own happiness, and it all begins with the first moment you get to finally hold your baby in your arms. The happiness flows from the happiness of our children to our own hearts. As the days unfold, I can think of many happy moments that make my heart smile. My Mommy Happy List consists of many different moments that we may overlook, but when we sit and think about them, our hearts smile.

Reflecting on the many blessings I have I can say that I'm fortunate to be in God's favor. I have two beautiful daughters that have brought a change of life to our home. My husband and I have known each other since we met in the fifth grade. We call ourselves elementary sweet hearts. Our lives have brought us together in ways we never imagined. Living life together has made the journey easier and well worth the memories we share. Currently, I am a second grade teacher and I hold a bachelors in sociology and a masters in education administration. As an educator, I have become an advocate for children and teachers. Believing in others that they can achieve anything they set their minds on helps them succeed. People today need to be compassionate about what they do for a living and that's me-I am a compassionate, strong willed woman who will aim high in achieving success and helping others achieve their own goals.
