Meet Jennifer

I had so much fun interviewing my mom that I thought I would try to interview another mom every week. This week my victim interviewee is my very cute sister Jennifer (Jenn.) She has such a cute family, and she is a great mom. Jenn and her husband Dave have two adorable kids, a 6 year old daughter, and a 6 month old son.
Besides being a super mom, another thing that I really admire about Jennifer is the way she treats her husband. She is always doing nice things for him, and you can just see how much she loves him by the little things she does and the way she talks about him.


Here she is:  Meet my sister Jenn, and see a few of her moments of joy.

What do you like most about being a mom?

"Everything!  I love the little things, like the smiles, the kisses, the hugs, and the I love you(s).  And, I know everything isn't always pleasant, like laundry, but it reminds me how blessed I am to be a mom." 

Who do you look up to as a good mom and why? 

"My mom.  She's known for her patience and I need a lot more.  Sometimes when I do things I think, 'My mom would never do that, so I shouldn't do that.'  

And, she never talks bad about anyone."

How do you deal with the stress that comes with motherhood?

"By not beating myself up that everything's not always perfect.  I always think to myself, 'Enjoy each day, you don't get them back.'"

How do you keep your family close?

"By being spontaneous, by playing together, and being silly together.  We also like to cuddle a lot."

How do you keep your relationship strong with your husband?

"Dates.  Keep dating when you have kids, and I try to make him feel loved and appreciated.  I used to complain about ironing his clothes until one day I realized it was one way for me to show him that I loved him.  I also like to leave him love notes to find in the morning when he is getting ready for work, to let him know he's appreciated."

What advice do you have for other mothers?

"Don't be too hard on your kids, they're just kids!"

Thanks Jenn!  You're awesome!
