Mom-isms.

They are those things you begin to say over and over (and over) to your kids that you hope they’ll take to heart. They’re those “I’m totally stealing that!” things you hear your friends say to their kids.

My kids currently range from 11 to 3. The older they get, and the older I get, the more I’m convinced that all of my Mom-isms are really just the questions and truths that I want to live by when I grow up.

From one momma to another, here are my top ten Mom-isms in this current season of life. I’d love some comments on this post with some of yours!

Peace be with you!
