This post on 7 Things Mom Really Wants this Mother's Day. It got me thinking about a few things I appreciate in this season with littles:

Affirmation: When my man (or someone else) takes the time to note the effort I've put into something or someone, it makes a hefty deposit in my emotional tank. If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me, "you must be busy," or "you must have your hands full," I could hire a housekeeper! We can do better than this. Mothers of littles have full hands, and we also have full hearts. Say something to affirm a mother's effort rather than simply stating the obvious. We already know we are busy.
