It is 5:41am as I attempt to return to blogging, not that I was ever really started.  My daughter is now 9 weeks and growing fast.  She is asleep, as is my son and husband.  The house is quiet and I thought it would be appropriate that my first blog back should be on Mother’s Day. 

I thought I would take a minute to write about a few moms that I love dearly.  There are three mother’s in my life that I most admire.  They are my teacher’s of motherhood that I learn from daily and will admire always.

First my partner, the professional blogger who has run Baby Besos beautifully while I have been half asleep trying to figure out being a mother of two under two.  Being that are sons are three days apart, Victoria is who I turn to daily to discuss are crazy boys and how challenging, funny, and wonderful they are.  We have shared friendship, pregnancy, a business, and motherhood.  While we may both be crazy mamas she is the calm and patient one.  She runs her home and our business with confidence and creativity.  I am grateful that I have such a wonderful business partner, but more so that I have such a wonderful friend. 

Secondly, I admire my sister who can best be described as a Mexican Martha Stewart.  She is mother to Analyssa, Christian and now Brayden.  She is the strongest person I know, who can pretty much do it all.  She is a wonderful sister, daughter, friend, wife and mother.  Tina has met all of life’s challenges with such grace.  I am blessed to have such a wonderful sister. 

Talia just woke up… that is her name by the way.  She is now sitting in the bouncy chair and hopefully will do so contently while I finish this blog. 

Most importantly, I admire my mother who growing up I never truly appreciated.  Now that I am a mother of two I don’t know how she raised four.  She is an amazing mother and grandmother.  She is the Mexican Martha Stewart’s Mother for gosh sakes.  My sister had to have learn from someone…. I am still trying to figure out where I went wrong.  My mom has helped me keep my sanity as a novice mother.  She not only helps take care of my children, she still takes care of me.  She amazes me, how she can come over and watch my babies, pick up the house, cook a meal, and do some laundry all while I take a shower.  She does in thirty minutes what takes me all week.  I don’t know what I would do without her.  I appreciate her more than she will ever know.           

Happy Mother’s Day!
