The Joys of Being a SAHM of Boys

  Let's be real....Motherhood is hard, stressful and a lot of work. Sometimes you feel like a failure, or at your wits end, about to pull your hair out. Praying for patience, more energy (especially with boys!)....Wishing you could just go to the bathroom alone or take a longg shower/bath before being "needed" or to sleep in for once.....

  BUT...Motherhood has a lot of Joys! Beautiful moments. Smiles. Fun Adventures. Laughs. Love.

  And those Beautiful Joyous Moments make it all worth it 💙 it makes up for the bad, ugly, and hard stuff.

  All about boys in this house....no florals, pinks or braids (except from Mama 🌺💗 oh but I do get to be an Aunt again, and guess what...it's a girl🎀)



When you capture those moments/photos where you really see that handsome young but "grown man" look, and then you picture in your head what they're going to look like when they're older, thoughts of them walking down the aisle to their bride....wondering what kind of husband and daddy they will be...because we all know time flies!! Before you know it, they'll be off to college. Also raising them to be kind and mannerly especially in a world where these values have seem to fade much...

 The Joy it brings to watch them take those steps, and stumble around without a care in the world, in their muscle tee and Wrangler jeans...just so ridiculously superbly adorable! 💚 not to mention, the bumps and bruises that come with it, where "nurse Mama" comes to the rescue with her homeopathic Arnica Montana!! (get it here! every mama needs this stuff in their natural medicine cabinet-will do a post on homeopathy stuff I use!)

 The laughter it brings when they think because they're a boy and can stand and pee, that they're allowed to pee anywhere and everywhere haha! 😂 Not to mention, them not leaving their male parts alone hahah, "typical guy" j/k...

 The Joy it brings to see them show so much excitement while watching four-wheeler/ATV racing.....and riding their own four-wheeler around the back yard, going too fast for Mama's liking... wondering how your preschooler looks like a "big kid"... gosh they grow too fast.

 Seeing monster trucks, Hot Wheels, tractors and all things camo green and blue.....Wanting to wear a hat, sunglasses and boxer briefs (instead of "tighty whities"😂) and trying to do push-ups to be just like daddy💪...wanting to constantly wrestle with daddy or have dad "scare them"... talk of fishing, hunting.....catching frogs/toads, bugs, especially lightning bugs (gosh those are the coolest!)...just loving God's green earth and all the beauty found in it....

Them refusing to wear pants then before you can get a diaper on them, they're standing on the back of the couch in the window, of course exactly when the UPS man comes to the door to bring a box lol! And my son is just waving and smiling, all while half naked haha. The Joys of laughter in these moments! 😂 We laugh A LOT in our home....laughter is great medicine and who doesn't laugh at a fart (or maybe you call it toot ha) and with boys, they're not as "classy as ladies" haha yah right!



  Oh the Joys when they're playing together, peacefully, or asleep like little angels 👼.... those moments 💙💚 (and why is it whenever you're trying to be a quiet mama/daddy ninja while they sleep, that's when they always wake?! ahhh)


God knew I needed boys 👦👦
