Everyone talks about how special motherhood and parenting are. The bond shared with a child is unlike any other; it’s a magical journey that is rewarding and satisfying, and I couldn’t agree more. I love being a mom, and it’s the best job in the world. I am a mom of two boys and love them to pieces, but Raising kids is not always all rainbows and butterflies.

Motherhood is not remembering what it’s like to get a whole night’s sleep and wiping more poop than you ever thought you’d see in your life. Raising kids is no longer having privacy, never peeing or showering in peace. Motherhood is using your shirt to wipe runny noses and dirty faces. Life with little children is learning how to do everything with one hand while carrying a baby in another. Motherhood is waking up with a bit of butt or foot in your face. Motherhood is breastfeeding whenever, wherever. Motherhood is yoga pants and bad hair days. Motherhood is no longer shopping alone. Motherhood is a filthy car all the time. Motherhood is not being able to call in sick because it’s a 24/7 job without a paycheck, and the list of everyday problems goes on. But in the end, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Having young kids and being a mom means being completely overwhelmed by love, joy, responsibility, and selflessness.

With the help of my mommy friends, I created this little intimate photography project just in time for Mother’s day, to remind everyone what motherhood really looks like. Some might find these interesting pictures raw, but that's how it is in real life.

I love this mom. She doesn't sweat the small things, and looks to allow her children to be little and enjoy life.

Too bad if the food splatters up and hits her bare skin or even worse the child - do they make splash-guards for such occasions????

Looks like it might be something that wouldn’t matter except the fact that it MIGHT get them a little dirty. Why is everyone being so negative and pointing out every little problem you see? Some of y’all enlarging the photo to see what you can find to b***h about. Geez stfu

I'm more concerned about the kid say high up. There's no way she'd catch him with a kid on one nipple.

That kid isn't eating. He's using his mom as a pacifier.

No, no & no. No pre-schooler sucking a nipple...definitely not while I'm cooking. No other preschooler getting his grubby little hands in the food I'm cooking that other people have to eat..........and definitely no hairy little rodent in proximity to my food.

Let’s face facts... staged or not.... they’re making a salad. Lil one should not be on mommy’s tit. Big brother should not be on the counter, neither should the GERBLE! This photo (and the other) were meant to create a conversation(s) about MANY things Right & Wrong. IMHO ... I believe SAFETY and FOOD SANITATION are most important when kids are involved. In addition .... ALL of this, and MUCH MORE, are why raising kids is such a personal, private and hopefully pleasurable experience. After all, it IS A FREE COUNTRY. Riiiiggghht ???

This lady is still breastfeeding? Seems like she was breastfeeding 14 pictures ago. Can someone please get their feet and that pet out of the food preparation area?

I'm sorry, but she makes me feel such a bad mom @_@ I didn't manage breastfeeding as long as her. I did not manage to lose my pregnancy weight and I'm fat. My hair's often a mess... And I I rarely cook complicated recipes. I really feel bad watching such a perfect mother.
