A REAL MUM:
****Never forgets the pains of childbirth, but would do it all over again in a heartbeat to bring their precious child into the world.
****sacrifices new clothes for herself to keep her kids dressed nicely.
****uses bribery in the grocery store.
****makes friends with the dust bunnies.
****loves her children unconditionally.
****still cringes when she hears "I'M DONE!" coming from the bathroom.
****never passes up the opportunity for good snuggle time.
****loves their daddy with all her heart.
****cries on the first day of school.
****teaches her children about the Lord and the importance of a relationship with Him.
****needs a break to pamper herself.
****serves cereal for supper once in a while.
****knows the importance of her job and doesn't take it for granted.
Here's to all you other "real mums" out there who are just trying to do your best, just as I am!

first, congrats on the template change...
you are indeed a very fine MOM! i don't know exactly what a real mom is as opposed to a fake one...but whatever:-)
The "I'm DONE!" made me giggle. I always pretend like I'm REALLY busy so my husband will go and take care of that task!
Those were great! I love the first one and the one about making friends with the dust bunnies! he he
Quintin is really into spiderman right now and I'm letting the dusting go so he can use our house as a place to study the spiders and their webs...well, it makes sense in my head! :)
Love the new template!
Love the new look! I tried to change mine and goofed EVERYTHING up and now am too scared to try it again! Those were all great!
You guys (Heidi, Leigh Ann, you, etc.) are making me look very bad with your lovely "Real Mums" moments. Stop It! ;-)
Beautiful, Teresa. I also love the new look of your blog.
Hey, great new look. Love the coffee cup!
I haven't done the cereal for supper, but I have made just popcorn for supper before. Thanks for the new easy idea!
I love the "I'm Done!". My youngest isn't quite as discreet~ I get a hearty "WIPE Meeeee!!!" each time.
Lovely.
Great list!
I too, like the new look!
Nice list!! I like the chidbirth one. SO TRUE!!
Great list. I love the "I'm Done", am so glad I am beyond that point with mine!
Great post Teresa. I'd give you my vote anyday! :)
I LOVE the new look - it's very elegant and easy to read. Just beautiful.
Like the list too! :)
Hi Teresa
i like your real mums list. I was tagged by Leigh Ann on this one as well. I pondered and pondered on what to write... you wouldn't think something so simple could be so difficult!! lol Come over and have a look see...
