How I view Motherhood | Naperville Family Photographer

As another month comes upon us, it is time again for the monthly blog circle. This month my virtual gal pals and I explore the topic of “Motherhood”.

Motherhood is defined as 1) The state of being a mother 2) The qualities of a mother.

The later is an interesting notion – What qualities does a mother have? Are these qualities a derivative of being a mom? Or do these qualities make a mom? – kind of like the most famous rhetorical question of all times – What comes first? The chicken or the egg??

In my opinion, motherhood is a change. Qualities that I had prior to the invasion of tiny toes (two and four legged kind) seem to have evolved into something completely different. But one thing is for sure, Change is the essence of life and Change is good 🙂
