Did you catch my post from yesterday? This is sort of on the same thread, but maybe a little more rambling…
I want to be the kind of mom who opens her home to her kids’ friends. I want to be the kind of mom who plays with her kids, whose kids arent afraid to truly talk to her. I want to be the kind of mom whose kids get messy and dirty right along with me and who want me to get dirty along with them. I want to explore with my kids, to learn with my kids and learn from my kids. I dont want to be the mom who just sits in the stands, but who is involved with the team. I want to be a better mom!

I can relate! We are somewhat the house everyone wants to hang out in and I'm ok with that. Our oldest has a friend that usually just walks in and says, "Hi Mom, I'm home". They raid the fridge and use sleep on our couches. I wouldn't trade it for the world! Our boys talk to me about almost everything and are pretty open. Sometimes I wish maybe not so open but the opposite would be so much worse! Hang in there and just "BE" there and all that you wish for will happen!
