When you\u2019re feeling like you just can\u2019t rally your strength, these words of wisdom from other strong women will help! I hope you love them as much as I do!\n 1. \u201cKids don\u2019t need piles of toys. They need parents who have time to play.\u201d \u2013 Joshua Becker\n 2. \u201cToday in an auditorium full of parents my son scanned the room looking for me. 3. \u201cI am 100% confident that my mother\u2019s prayers have saved my life more times than I can count.\u201d\n 4. “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most space in your heart.” – Winnie the Pooh\n 5. \u201cAttachment does not hinder independence, it fosters it. Cuddle those babies. Carry those babies. Let those babies sleep in your arms and on your chest and be with you all the time. They will start taking steps away from you when they\u2019re ready.\u201d \u2013 Emily Holdaway\n 6. \u201cMaking the decision to have a child \u2013 it is momentous.

And that this is just a season in life. You blink and they are 8. Then 28. And then they are parents, resembling a you, you once were. So take it in, mama. Let them climb into bed with you any hour of the night. Sing that song they requested for the 10th time. Hold them a little tighter when all they want is to shower with you and feel your skin against theirs. Maybe in raising children, you lose your mind a little bit. But, boy, do you find your soul!\u201d -Sharon Hakes\n 13.\u201cThe way kids learn to make good decisions is by making decisions, not by following directions.\u201d \u2015 Alfie Kohn\n 14. \u201cMotherhood is not a competition to see who has the smartest kids, the prettiest clothes, the cleanest house, and the healthiest food.

\nWhen he saw me his face lit up the room.
\nHe wasn\u2019t looking for the perfect parent.
\nHe was looking for his mom.
\nDon\u2019t ever forget the power of simply being their mom.\u201d
\n\u2015 Rachel Marie Martin\n
\nI\u2019d build self-esteem first, and the house later.
\nI\u2019d finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
\nI would do less correcting and more connecting.
\nI\u2019d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
\nI\u2019d take more hikes and fly more kites.
\nI\u2019d stop playing serious, and seriously play.
\nI would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
\nI\u2019d do more hugging and less tugging.\u201d
