The #RockingMotherhood Tag

www.myrealfairy.com #rockingmotherhood tag

Thanks to Zoe from thetaleofmummyhood.com for nominating me to do the #RockingMotherhood Tag. I’ve been interested in the tag since seeing it and having to think what do I actually rock at! Bigging myself up might feel weird to do but here goes, I’m sure once I get into the swing of it there will be no stopping me! The aim of the game is to write down 10 reasons why you rock at this motherhood lark. We are thrown in at the deep end so this is great to actually do a bit of reflecting and realise what we have accomplished.

  1. I’ve always carefully thought about the decisions I make and how it will affect my boys. There were times when I wasn’t sure what to do for the best and had the whole moral dilemma going on but I gave it my best shot and it worked out.
  2. I worked hard to make sure that I could afford a home for them and put food on the table.
  3. When they cry they always have a pair of arms to wrap around them. I’ve also got great family, friends and man, so that helps too and provides even more pairs of arms!
  4. I didn’t choose to shut myself away when things were tough, I got back out there and kept it together for the sake of my boys.
  5. I love to do the lindy hop with my youngest as he learnt it for a school dance. We now do it as a way to get him through the 2 mins of teeth cleaning.
  6. I try to guide my eldest in the difficult and sometimes challenging stage of being 11 and a half. If I struggle I pass over to the safe hands of his dad. I know where my skills lie and that’s sometimes in delegation.
  7. I try and let them have their own space and encourage them to read more instead of being glued to their ipads.
  8. I encourage them to have an understanding of individual differences. Our jobs mean that they have insights into these discussions.
  9. I celebrate every occasion I can and make a big deal out of the smallest event. You gain a merit, well let’s party!
  10. I love ice cream so we get to go to the local sundae cafe very frequently!
  11. I knew that I would get into the swing of it and as I’m writing this it all boils down to the fact that I love my boys more than anything in the world. I enjoy telling them I love them every day and showing them by my actions. I’ve been described (like many mums) as a lioness when it comes to protecting them. That’s good, that’s me, the lioness.

The rules are lovely and simple

  1. Thank the blogger that tagged you and link to their blog.
  2. List 10 things you believe make you a good mother (this is just a guideline. It can be more or less than 10.)
  3. Tag 3 – 5 bloggers to join in the #RockingMotherhood Tag.
  4. Grab the #RockingMotherhgood badge below and add it to your post or sidebar.
I hope you have enjoyed reading why I think I rock. I also hope it has inspired you to write down why you rock. Instead of me tagging people in, if you would like to take part then please either tweet me here or write in the comments section below and I’ll tag you in. It’s great fun and go on, it’s time to big yourself up!
Thanks to Patricia over at  whitecamellias.com who created this great tag.

    1. ice cream is the wonderful and sprinkles has made a huge difference as a place I actually like to go where all the kids are full of excitement, its great. Thanks for your comments and for stopping by x

  12. Great post!! Your reflections were so honest and sweet. It’s truly clear how much you love your kiddos. Thanks for sharing. #KCACOLS

  13. Ah well done on this it’s hard isn’t it but you have some really brilliant ones here. I love the idea of giving them their space when they need it, perhaps something I need to take onboard. Oh an can I come to the sundae shop with you? Thanks for sharing at #familyfun

  14. Awww you sound like a fun and loving mummy. Totally agree we should all big ourselves up more and not be ashamed to do so.

  15. Loved reading this, sounds like you are absolutely rocking motherhood! I really love how you acknowledge that sometimes the best thing you can do is let the other parent handle some things. I know there are things with my children that are so much better dealt with by my husband. x #BloggerClubUK

  17. Sounds like you do a fab job. I love the way you have a lot of ice-cream and party over the smallest things. Best way to be! Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst x

  23. What a great post. We mothers are so hard on ourselves sometimes. Recognizing the good is important.

  24. You are definitely rocking motherhood! I’m so glad you enjoyed writing this, it seems difficult at first but it’s good to spend time giving ourselves a pat on the back. Love it! Thanks so much for linking up to #Blogstravaganza, hope to see you again next week xx

  25. Reflection is lovely, isn’t it? Good for you to focus on all your positives in parenting. It’s so easy to think about what you’ve done “wrong” (which likely wasn’t wrong at all) and not notice everything you’re doing right!

  28. You’ve thought of some really original points here and you sound like such a fun mum! I particularly love the image of doing the lindy hop while you brush your teeth. And the bit about always having some arms to wrap round them was beautifully put. Thank you for linking up to #eatsleepblogrt. Hope you join again next week.
