Observation, and experience has taught me exactly what I want to be, and do not want to be when it comes to Mothering. I want to be the mother in the floor with her children, the one involved...the one who know's what the most popular Lego is...the one who knows what is considered "stylish.." and what isn't. I want to be the mother that makes her faith so appealing to her children...the one who rubs backs, rubs heads, and has time to really engage in conversation.
I want to be involved! I see parents, and grandparents alike doing it all from so afar...and for some it works...but, I have found that for me it just will not. I want my children, and even one day my grandchildren to know me as the one involved...the one who get's them...the one who knows "what's up..." :-)
I want my kids to see me down on my knee's playing with them, talking with them...at their level..I also want them to see a mom who is down on her knees praying....and giving of herself so selflessly.
