Mother’s Day is a special occasion that honours all the incredible mothers out there for their selflessness, love and dedication. For many, being a mom is a life-changing experience filled with both joys and challenges. Despite the difficulties, most mothers find that the rewards of being a parent are immeasurable. To celebrate Mother’s Day, we chatted with some local moms about their favourite part of being a mother. It was heartwarming to hear about the unique bond between mother and child, the joy of watching their children grow, and the sense of fulfillment that comes with knowing they are raising a wonderful human being. It’s clear that being a mom is truly a special and rewarding job.
| “My favorite part of being a mom is having the opportunity to have a second chance, to live with my kids all the memories I wish I had with my own family.” @athenasangulo |  |
 | “The best thing about being a mom is watching my kids grow and learn while I provide love, support, and guidance along the way. Also the snuggles are a nice perk!” @victoriakidsplay |
| “Motherhood is like juggling chainsaws while standing on one foot – it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do in your life. But hey, who doesn’t love a good challenge? All joking aside, Some of my favorite things about motherhood are – the endless supply of hugs, the cute little moments that make you forget the sleepless nights, and the joy of watching your child grow and develop into their own little weirdos. It’s a truly magical experience that cannot be replicated in any other relationship. My relationship with each of them completes me in a way that I cannot fully put into words, except to say, “They are my “Why.”” @venusfitness |  |
 | “The best part of being a mom is the amount of love that I thought I am not capable of giving but it keeps on growing every day. Witnessing them discover the world and develop their personalities is so magical. I love it when they say “Thank you and I love you, Mommy.” I love it when I can calm them just simply with my presence. I love every moment big or small, these kids have taught me a lot. And no matter how tough it could be, I am still beyond grateful that at the end of the day I am my kids’ super mom.” @chasing.the.ts |
| “I feel so blessed to be a mommy to four incredible littles. They remind me everyday that there is magic in everything we do and to enjoy the simple things in life because our normal is their magic.” @msbeephan |  |
 | “My favourite thing about motherhood is that it tears you down and builds you back up stronger and more capable, with a renewed clarity of what’s truly important in life. My kids are my greatest teachers, and I’m so grateful we get to learn and grow together. Also, their little freckles, facial expressions and misspoken words make my heart want to explode sometimes. And, you get to go trick-or-treating again!! That’s worth all the hard work right there.” @iamchristinecoughlin |
