The Be A Fun Mum slogan is “Love the Moment”. I want to elaborate on what Love the Moment means to me as a mother.
“By loving the little moments, I experience snippets of happiness and joy around me, which in turn help me to see Motherhood for what it is: a collection of small moments, like pieces of a puzzle, together creating a beautiful masterpiece.”
Often, this is how my conversations go:
“Hi, how are you?”
“Fine, fine. And how are you?”
“Yeah, good thanks.”
“What have you done this week?”
“Um, well, ah, I’ve been REALLY busy but I can’t remember what I’ve achieved.”
Weeks fly by and I have nothing physical to show for it. I sometimes feel disheartened. By loving the little moments, I experience snippets of happiness and joy around me, which in turn, help me to see Motherhood for what it is: a collection of small moments, like pieces of a puzzle, together creating a beautiful masterpiece.
Below are some of my “Love the Moment” moments:
Walking in my door and enjoying the colours of my girls Karimu bonnets
Seeing my Valentine Monsters on the bookshelf with old books in the background.
Spontaneous hugs
Sipping tea out of pretty cups.
Drinking coffee with my man.
Watching my children experience the wonder of the world.
Hearing the children laugh when Daddy's home.
Wearing flowers in my hair.
When I have a quiet moment to pray. Click the image to read 'The Prayer Book' post.
I make a conscious effort to treasure these moments. I draw on the little treasures when things are tough; when I feel like I’ve achieved nothing; when I feel like a servant and everyone wants a piece of me; on the days I get up like a robot repeating the same thing, over and over again. I draw on the moments and remember, it’s all worth while.
