We want to thank RAZmom88 for sharing her wild and wonderful life with us each week. This is her last installment. It's been a fun ride!
Spring is here! Which means spring sports around here. Andrea has soccer and Zack has track, and all the practices that go along with it.
Remember all the good things about your kids ... not just all the drama that seems to fill teen lives. Enjoy being their mom, have fun with it. In the end, the only people that can honestly tell you whether or not you are a good parent are your kids. They are the only ones you have to please. Do your best, put them first, love them uncondiitionally, and always be there.
You choose to have the children, they had no choice. So try to make life as enjoyable as you can for them. It is hard being a teen in this world. Try to look at things through your teen's eyes.
From the day they were born, you were teaching them and taking care of them. Preparing them to be independent adults. When they are teens, you are almost there! Be proud of your success. I am.

Good luck to you and although, I did not always comment, I did always read! I enjoyed reading them!
I've really enjoyed reading your blog. I hope that your children become successful adults as well. Your family has been a good example to us all. Putting God frist, not taking the little things too seriously, taking the bigger things very seriously, community involvement. All things I will use with my children.
Like you I take my role as a Mother very personally and very seriously. God has entrusted us with these little lives to train them in the way they should go. I think in the end you will get a pretty nice report card from your children ! I hope I will too. ♥
I will miss your blog - I really enjoyed reading about your family. I've told you many times already, but you have a way of expressing your love through the words on paper that makes me smile every time I read this. It's a nice change of pace to see a mom living through the teen years with grace and love instead of Prozac! haha Thank you for sharing so much with us.
. Enjoy being their mom, have fun with it. In the end, the only people that can honestly tell you whether or not you are a good parent are your kids. They are the only ones you have to please.
That is so true, and it warms the heart when they tell you how well you have done. I have one in college and one preparing to marry in September. I love my sons, but I wouldn't want to go back to the days when they were younger.
Thanks for sharing!!
I've enjoyed reading about your family!
BEST WISHES!!!!!
