I was asked what value do I think is the most important to instill in our kids. Honesty - it's something that I try very hard to make sure that I stay true to. This blog and my social media accounts are a reflection of me. So I try very hard to make sure that it's a true reflection of who I really am.
And when it comes to parenting, honesty is something that I feel very strongly about. I often express to Lil Man the importance of being honest - to tell me the truth rather than lie about a situation. I believe it's important to instill those qualities at a young age. Honesty builds trust.
For those of you who've known me over the years know my story.
But for anyone who may not know, I struggled with infertility, and I never thought that I would be a mom.
I have to say that I celebrate Mother's Day every day. I really do. Sure, some days I'm locking myself in the bathroom with a "mommy needs a moment!" Or when Hubby gets home I literally jump in the car and speed off to the local ice cream joint. :) My life truly is a bed of roses... LOTS OF THORNS mingled in among LOTS OF BEAUTY.
So, I do try on a daily basis to instill in Lil Man to be honest with himself and to honest with others. I believe there are many qualities that we should instill in our children, but for me, honesty is one of the most important.
Writing is one of my passions, and I'm stepping out there on faith to follow my dream. If you like this blog or this post, please take a moment to share it with friends. Thank you for helping me follow my dream.
