Little late for mother day but still fitting none the less.

I have preferred the simple, non-flashy, tried and true, title of "mom" over the fancy, glamorous word, "show mom". It was always my belief that it was a title that fell on me because my children showed livestock. A show mom made sure the health papers were picked up from the vet, show clothes ironed, shoes and belt not forgotten, cooler loaded and of course, the crockpot. Small tasks that, to me, seemed very mundane. However, I've recently realized being a show mom is something much more. That it is not solely a responsibility to help my kids prepare to show livestock in the show ring, it is also a role bestowed upon me, to elevate me, to be a better mom.

A show mom will be challenged to see how much can be conquered in a day, and then is required to devise a plan to execute. It will push you to go farther than you thought possible when being pulled in so many different directions. Teaching you that even when exhaustion has set in and it has felt nearly impossible to give anymore, to dig deep. To find the beauty in the chaos and to continuously cherish the moments. Being a show mom has strengthened me beyond measures, and in doing so has also resulted in these amazing by-products, my children, who have witnessed what ultimate love, dedication and sacrifice is.

The best part of being a show mom is that our children have had front row seats to see that the key to success is doing more than what a job description entails. They have been immersed in what work without ceasing means and have seen that hard work, passion and perseverance is what gets the job done. That things will often not go the way you expect, but that the right perspective can turn those obstacles into opportunities. They know what putting others before yourself feels like and above all else what it looks like to put your whole soul into something you believe in.

Show moms are behind the scenes workers full of grace, grit, and determination, who seek little recognition. They work silently and diligently and take great pleasure in knowing that their greatest contribution to the world is living in front of their children the way they wish them to live.❤️
