I Love My Job!

I love being a mom. It is by far the most rewarding thing I have ever done. From each morning, as I see the look of wonder on my kiddos’ faces as they look forward to a new day, to each night as I tuck them in and they whisper, “I love you, Mommy,” I am rewarded for my work (albeit hard work) in the best possible way!

Like me, you live a million ordinary moments…and each one of them makes you the Extraordinary mom you are. You might have one child or ten. You might stay home, or maybe you work – but you have something in common with millions of other mothers – You Matter. You are a teacher, a friend, a chauffer, a cook, a craftsman, a doctor, and the best medicine a child could need. You put your family first and yourself last. You face many challenges… like potty training, or a toddler who throws regular temper tantrums, or something more painful – like balancing the grief of losing your own parent with the raising of your own little ones, or you may be putting on a brave face watching your very own child receive treatment for Leukemia. No matter what your day holds – You Matter.

The Why Moms Matter Project recognizes the beauty and the significance of Mothers. The Why Moms Matter Blog Talk Radio Show will highlight a new mother every week on Fridays at 12:30 Pacific, 2:30 Central. Join hosts Josh and Rebecca Unfried, of MomFaves, and Danielle Smith, of ExtraordinaryMommy.com, as they uncover the stories that will remind moms they are living extraordinary lives. You will hear stories that will make you laugh and make you cry – but every story, every woman, will remind you Why Moms Matter.

Each week’s featured mom will also be highlighted on www.ExtraordinaryMommy.com as well as www.WhyMomsMatter.com, so they can’t be missed!

If you would like to nominate a mom you know with an Extraordinary story, go to www.WhyMomsMatter.com. Nominated moms do not need to be bloggers, nor do they have to be ‘young’ mothers.  Grandmothers have fantastic stories as well.
