It was my first Mother’s Day mug.
And I was a Rookie Mom.
The first of my friends to have kids, I was a bit lost, trying to find my way.
Throughout the years there have been many times where I have felt like a Rookie Mom.
When my second child was born, being a Mom to two children now was new to me, in that I was a Rookie Mom and I was a bit lost, trying to find my way.
But somehow, like all of us, I navigated through the phases of parenthood.
The ins and outs and ups and downs.
As my youngest graduates from college in just a couple of weeks, perhaps it is time to retire the Rookie Mom mug.
But yet this true Empty Nest phase is now new to me, and I am a bit lost, trying to find my way.
So I’ll hang onto it a bit longer.
Maybe one day, if I’m lucky, I will trade it in for a Rookie Grandma mug.
Yes, I already checked. There is one on Amazon.
For now I will savor the phase where I am, and enjoy a fresh cup of Lemon Ginger tea in my Rookie Mom mug this Mother’s Day, for the 26th time.
Happy Mother’s Day!
