As every Super-mom knows, figuring out, signing up for, arranging for transportation to and from, and coordinating activities for your brood is a full-time job, in itself.

And! It’s a full-time job that many a Super-mom don’t get acknowledged for.

So, my Sisters, this Super-mom is acknowledging you.

Right here and right now after I literally spent hours today doing this—asking my kids about, figuring out, scheduling, signing up, arranging transportation to and from, and then coordinating my kids’ activities for “next session.”

And camp!

OMG, camp.

You gotta be so on the ball to make sure yo kids make it in to the Y for camp for next summer, that you gotta sign em up on a certain Tuesday mid December (hellloow, mid Holiday season), to make sure they get a slot for next July.

December, for JULY!

I spent 45 minutes at the Y today signing my three big kids up for Camp Chickami and Pikati, and I had the nicest woman-in-charge ever helping me.

So here it is, a shout out.

You ROCK, Super-mom.

I acknowledge and commend you all for ALL you do, including the whole activity thang . . . and, mind you, this is before you ever step foot out the door to actually attend the activity.

LOL.

“Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.”

Super-mom Jen Murray:
I am so grateful to be a mom to twins Laney and Danny(10) and my youngest Jake(6).  My children have taught me what unconditional love truly is. Being a mom has brought so much joy to my life. As I help and watch them grow, they in turn help me grow!
  Constantly growing and changing I decided last year after practicing yoga for some years to do a teacher training program through Prana Power Yoga.  The benefits that I gained from practicing has helped me get through so much that I wanted to share that with others.  Now I am able to do just that.  Since graduating in April 2012, I immediately started teaching and sharing my love for yoga and all its benefits.  Through our own breath we can self soothe.  It sounds easy yet we are all faced with this “simple” challenge.
Loving what you do and being able to do what you love is a true gift.  My family and I benefit from this.  My kids notice a difference….especially my very intuitive Laney who always keeps me in check.   When I told Laney I was writing this blog for Super-Mom.  I read her what I wrote and she said “ You should put in that you yell at your kids.” Ha….I chuckled at her honest response and said you’re right.  I do yell at my kids when necessary sometimes even when its not necessary.  I also love them unconditionally and continue to work on loving myself unconditionally even if I yell at my kids ;)
I will continue to live my life the best that I can, making mistake and perfecting things as I go but always doing my best. I feel honored to be a part of such an amazing community that I found through yoga.  Forever thankful for my children, my family, and my yoga.    Without them all I would not be able to feel so grounded, supported, and loved.
