Mother's Day.

For Mother's Day, all I really wanted was a delicious brunch outing and time together. Aaron and Hazel delivered on both, and it was just the low-key weekend I had hoped for.

As I reflected on motherhood over the weekend, I was struck by the fact that yes, motherhood is hard -  but not harder than I expected (yet, at least). But it IS far more fun than I ever anticipated! There are certainly days where I miss our "freedom" and the ability to be as spontaneous, but I don't think I've ever laughed harder, and I constantly marvel at the fact that I MADE A LITTLE HUMAN. Seeing her personality emerge, and getting to enjoy her everyday is such a gift, and worth every bit of hardship that comes along with it.
