You know you're a mom when . . .

You know you're a mom when you start taking fashion and hair advice from a 6 year old.  Honestly, I was getting ready to head out the door, looked in the mirror and said outloud, "I hope I look okay."  My 6 year old responded, "Mom you look great!"  And that was that!  I was pleased, and that was good enough for me.  There are times when running errands and going to the grocery that I think to myself, "Who am I trying to impress anyway?"  The truth is no one.  I am happily married with 5 children.  The only ONE I need to impress is the Lord.  I do struggle with that.  Don't we all! 
Back to my point, in my dash to get out the door, my 6 year old made my day and his opinion was the only opinion I needed right then! 
That night when getting ready for bed I told my husband about my little experience.  He laughed a little and smiled, "You're a MOM!"  That's right; I'm a Mom!
