Why?

I am a mom. I have one daughter who is the light of my life. I never knew it could be possible to love someone so incredibly much until she came into my life. I loved her before I even laid eyes on her. She is my motivation for so many wonderful things in life.
As I mom, I am constantly thinking of things that I wish I could do or be. There are days that I see other moms posting things to facebook that make me instantly annoyed with them, because they have just "Shown me up" as a mom. There are days that I sit in self pity, because I WISH I had the opportunity to stay at home with my daughter, to play with her all day, teach her neat things, and focus ONLY on being a mommy instead of having a career. There are times that I watch other moms who make being a mommy look like a fantastic fun and thrilling experience, and others who couldnt look more miserable. All of these things have gotten me thinking that I need to stop "wanting to be a mom like that" and actually taking the steps to become the mom I've dreamed of being.
There are a million and one ways that I need to be better as a mom. And through this blog, I hope to keep myself accountable, learn from my mistakes, grow in knowledge, and work at becoming that mom.
