What's Your Favorite Thing About Being a Mom? Readers share why they love motherhood. "I'm a new mom, and my son has made life fuller. Every day is an exciting adventure, and I have a built-in best friend!" – Emma B., Ohio "When my kids were young, I liked reading stories and snuggling with them. Now that my kids are adults, it's so fun to hang out and mentor them." – Sharon S., New Jersey "One of my favorite things about being a mom is playing again. We play Barbies, pretend restaurant, school, and Target cashiers. It's awesome to dive into a world of make-believe, imagination, and silliness for a small portion of the day. My kid is pretty funny, so she's always saying or doing something that makes me laugh." – Karina B., Texas "Watching life through their eyes is wonderful. It's amazing to see all their firsts—obviously the milestones like crawling, walking, and talking—but also little moments like trying ice cream or celebrating holidays. They constantly surprise me with the new things they've learned." – Jess T., Virginia "The best part about being a mom is getting to experience love in its truest form. I was chosen to look after these tiny people, and I don't take it for granted. They've taught me life's toughest lessons, and they've also been my greatest source of grace. We learn as they learn; we grow as they grow, and it's magical and rewarding." – Tiffany M., Canada "I marvel at the gift of bringing a bundle of joy into the world, watching them grow, navigate life, and mature into responsible young adults—and let's not forget the perfect grandchildren they bring later!" – Penny F., Massachusetts "My children give me a sense of purpose, and I cherish teaching them and sharing in their experiences at every stage of their lives." – Brenda K., Pennsylvania "What I treasure most is the unconditional love and watching my kids grow into their own unique selves. It's the sweetest joy!" – Brittany J., Louisiana PARLOR TALK
