Ever think about the mundane things we do, as moms, every day -- day in and day out? The little things ... the things that we would most certainly miss if they were to stop tomorrow. I have been thinking a lot about what being a mom means to me -- and so with that -- I have made a promise to myself to start appreciating my kids, and the time we have together, more. To not just get through each day -- but really enjoy each day -- because before we turn around these adorable little kids of ours will be all grown up.

Below are 26 things that I truly love about being a mom every day ... the moments that I sometimes take for granted ... just because they are a part of the daily routine.

Sometimes you watch a video and it puts you in a good mood all day long. That happened to me with this video. The mom (my cousin) who shot the video sent it to me last week and I have watched it every day since. At least once. Sometimes twice. Why? Because it just makes me smile. There is something so adorable about seeing big sister Jada seriously crack up her baby sister. No one else can get her going like that. Now that is love!

If you are female with dark hair, then you know what a pain in the ass it is to have to deal with lip hair. Guys — avert your eyes now before you are forever thinking about your lady and her 'stache!

Are you gone? Good ... now I can open up. From the time I was in the fifth grade, I had to contend with the dreaded female mustache. The things we girls do.

First it was bleaching — inexpensive and perfect for an embarrassed tween in an age where you couldn't yet get a wax at every nail salon in town. I actually managed to take bleaching right into my early 20s but was told repeatedly by friends, relatives, and strangers at makeup counters that I was too old for the bleach. Ugh ... waxing. Please ladies, can I get a collective "we feel your pain!"
