And if any mamas want to take a day off from cleaning, get in touch with us 😌
"Here’s to the mama cleaning the kitchen again because the kitchen just won’t clean itself.
And here’s to the mama loading the washing machine, because all these clothes just don’t wash themselves.
Here’s to the mama pouring the drinks and making the meals, because meals just don’t make themselves.
And to all the mamas shopping for school stuff and doing the paperwork and setting the alarms, because our kids just aren’t old enough to finish these things themselves.
Here’s to the mamas scheduling the doctors checkups and dentist appointments, because these appointments just don’t make themselves.
And to the mamas searching for gifts and ordering the cakes, because parties just don’t plan themselves.
Here’s to the mamas filling up the gas tank and driving our kiddos around, because our littles just can’t drive themselves.
And the mamas figuring out practices and schedules and games, because the week just won’t plan itself.
These are the mamas who help make life happen (and often the dads and grandparents, too), and I want to take a moment to recognize you.
Because everything that just seems to happen or fall into place, doesn’t just seem to happen without the thoughtfulness and service of loved ones who make sure our children are taken care of each day.
And I know how easy it is to feel like our efforts go unseen.
And how frustrating all of it can be.
But I also know all these little jobs add up to lots and lots of love.
And they surely prove we are needed so very much.
So we’ll keep on getting up each day and doing the next thing.
Because we love our families with all our hearts, and we know the kitchen just won’t clean itself."
