The Mom I Want to Be aka What I Want My Kids to Know

I want to be the mom that her kids love and always give giant bear hugs to.
I want to have a movie night each week with cuddles and laughs and popcorn.
I want to take my kids all over the world and show them how even though people are different we all want the same things out of life.
I want to expose my kids to all the many options they have in life.
I want to give them a taste of many different paths, careers, ideas for their future.
You are loved without a doubt.
I want them to be happy and confident.
Mom will always be there for you
Be kind to others and be able to make friends.
I don't need to make the cool crafts, or the cool snacks...just find the ways they can access them.
Smile.
The ones that truly love you, you will never have to lie to.
Hard work gets you the things that you really want.
Actions have consequences...even if you can't see them right away.
Too much of a good thing is never good.
Value a person for their character and not their color, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
There are many types of love.
Money isn't the most important thing in life.
Be each others best friends.
I want to teach them the value of moderation.
Be confident enough to stand up to their friends.
I want them to know HOW to drink, do drugs, have sex responsibly.
You always have a choice...but each choice has a consequence.
Being unique is something that makes you strong.
Don't be afraid to hug people or show that you care.
Everyone makes mistakes
Always try.
