I love when my daughter runs to me with open arms as fast as her baby legs can carry her. I love cuddling together while reading books and comforting her when she's not feeling well.

Heather said...

I love when my 10 month old daughter gets shy and she buries her head into my shoulder or leg or whatever part of me is closet to her at the time. It shows me how much she loves and trusts me. It is a great feeling. I also love watching her grow and learn about the world around her. It is amazing.

I love seeing their smiles every day.

Milk in the Closet said...

These books sound great and very helpful. Great giveaway - thanks!

My husband and I had a very difficult time getting pregnant. We had fertility issues and it ended up taking us three years. After all the procedures we went through, we ended up getting pregnant on our own. Isn't God funny? I think that when one goes through a journey like this, it gives you a different perspective. I am thankful for all of the toys I pick up because it means she is here. I'm thankful for runny noses and poopy diapers because it means she's with us. My favorite thing about being her mommy is waking her up in the morning, though. It's a constant reminder of the miracle of life!
Thanks for this! It was good for my spirit to remember!

mommyofmany said...

I love sharing family times together... playing and laughing or studying Scripture... I just LOVE being together!

Unknown said...

All 3 of my babies are in heaven, but the few months that I was pregnant were the best of my life. There is nothing like seeing your baby on the ultrasound screen or feeling them kick. There is nothing better and I wouldn't trade those few, short months for anything in the world. They were the sweetest of my whole life.

So many moments during the day...One of my favorite moments is hearing my children playing the piano. I'm a professional musician, but noone plays better than my 8 year old son! And hearing is jubliant "yes" when he finally masters a piece.

Killlashandra said...

I love it when I come home after work and my two year old tackles me at the door. :)

Thanks for hosting, your selection of books looks great.

Britni said...

I'm not a mom, but I love the fact that my mom makes her house feel so cozy and comfy by not always having it spotless. It feels lived in and not immaculate!

We raised our 5 children on the mission field. I loved the fact that they grew up without any racial prejudices and never seemed to notice or care what color of skin someone had or what language they spoke.

Thanks!

Joanna said...

I love watching the world through my children's eyes. Getting down to their level and seeing exactly what they see, but also taking in the wonder that they have when they see or learn new things!

My favorite moments as a mom is when the babies are quiet and in need of cuddle-time. Holding those little people close to me is makes all the dirty diapers, toys on the floor, temper tantrums completely worth it.

Thank you for your giveaway!

Jon and Sarah said...

Even though it's sometimes early, I love hearing my daughter call my name because she wants to get out of bed.

Krista said...

I love it when my son is sleepy and he snuggles into my chest and sucks his thumb. So precious!

Sweetpea said...

I love when my 3-year-old son laughs so hard I have to remind him to breathe. I love when I join him! And it's the best when he gets his baby sister (9 months) in on the laughter! The best is when they just sit there are crack up at each other. Those are good moments.

I would love your books for some ideas, as a work-at-home mom I am trying to be creative and not resort to TV time. I've been at my wits end with my spirited toddler lately. Help!

kittyhox said...

It's so hard to pick one thing!

My favorite thing is probably cuddling with my son (20 months). He is rarely still, so it's extra special when he just rests and lets me hold him close.

SimplyBillie said...

My favorite thing about being a mother is realizing just how much love I have in my heart for each of my boys. I never knew that I could love this much.

My favorite thing about being a mother is seeing my twins make each other laugh. I also love when they crawl into my lap because they need a snuggle. I even love when they are crying and they reach for me -- to be able to be there and comfort them when they need me is one of my greatest joys. In short, being a mother is the best job I have ever had. Please count me in for this fabulous giveaway as the SAHM to one year old twins these books are right up my alley and would be oh so helpful in my daily life. Again, thanks for offering this generous giveaway.

I love watching their brains work... hearing the random thoughts that they have. I love the hugs and kisses and rocking at night. I also love it when they all take a nap at the same time! :)

CanCan said...

My two boys are such a delight! I love watching my 3-year-old develop into a little person- not a baby or toddler any more! It is so neat to see him make up his own jokes, use his imagination, and use big words for the first time! He also calls my acne scars "pokey-dots" and says he likes them.
My baby 5-month-old is very sweet, full of smiles, and a great sleeper! I think about them and talk about them around the clock! I have wanted to be a mom all of my life.

Taryn said...

i love that *I* am the one to make it all better :)

Thanks for the giveaway. I love when my sons come in from school so proud of some type of artwork or school work. We make a big fuss and hang it on our fridge.

I am the mom of a large brood of kids. While I just had another baby almost 4 months ago, my oldest daughter and her husband are expecting their first child this summer. I love giving love to my children, being able to share with them what is important, and just spending quality time with them. I also love spending time with my oldest children, and seeing how they have become such wonderful young adults.

I'm not a Mom but I get a total kick out of the neighbor's kids and their unbridled goofiness. They simply enjoy having fun.

It was great while it lasted, but alas all good things come to an end. Now I am a grandmom and that is even greater.

I love seeing my kids' personalities develop and it's so fun to see the people they're becoming.

I am a mother of two boys, 16 years and 6 months. I have found that being a mom is different this time around. I have a better understanding and appreciation for all the little things like poop (I am so excited when he poops! I can't explain it!) but also I am so much more fearful with this one. I now am so aware of all the bad in the world. We are trying to our 3rd now - I just love being a mom.
Thanks for the contest!

I am a mother to 5 boys and what I love most about being a mother (besides the incredible love I have for my boys!)is the laughter that fills our home everyday.

Thanks for the giveaway!

A mother is the best thing to have and to be.

Samantha P said...

something that i love about motherhood is the fact that you get to see the child grow up and see how they change and how they stay the same.

Unknown said...

Their sweet laughter!

There are so many things! The run up from behind and hug mom. The giggles. A little girl with her daddy. But I love it the most when she calls my name. Mama is a wonderful name to have.

I love having a part of me outside of my person that I couldn't live without

I love snuggling with my kids & reading a good book to them in front of the wood stove on a wintry night.

I love kids so much. I really want to have kids. I love the 12 toddlers in my class. And I can not wait to adopt.

Unknown said...

I love when my son snuggles his head on my shoulder next to my neck. I also love it when I can make him laugh.

Unknown said...

I love it when my 15 month old kisses me. All on her own! She doesn't do it much, but when she does it melts my heart!

Two words: baby kisses!

I love those smiles that only a mommy receives.

I love the sloppy kisses, neck-crushing hugs and mispelled love notes.

The love that I feel when I look at my baby.

I love it when my baby daughter reaches out her little arms to hug me.

I love it when my kids sit and talk with me! They are all so great and the mixed personalities of the three can really be fun and funny!

I love my mother for teaching me to be a strong individual with good morals. She taught me the skills I would need in my life. Thanks Mom! You did an excellent job!!!
Thank you for hosting this contest!

I love watching my son learn things for the first time and watching him struggle to master them at first - he will be so honest and earnest in his approach. Watching him learn and grow has been an amazing experience so far. Life Changing, for sure.
