Those mundane and exhausting things that moms do with their children might actually be the little things that make their lives magical. Vlogger Esther Anderson of Story of This Life has created a heartwarming video to remind everybody that moms, battling all the struggle and chaos, will always remain the best people in our lives.
Anderson made the video A Normal Day in honor of Mother’s Day. It features grocery shopping, failed naps, messy diaper changes, and other things moms go through on a normal day. Anderson, however, uses these examples to portray parents not as failures, but as devoted and loving magicians who, despite all odds, make their children’s time spectacular. The eye-opening effect was created by showing the same day through the mother’s and her child’s eyes. Sometimes, perception isn’t necessarily reality.
Once when my best friend and I were making cookies with our three kids, she stopped, looked at me, and said, "I just figured this out. THIS isn't supposed to be fun. The MEMORY is!!"
Yup my kids are also oblivious to how difficult my day is!
I don't see it that way, I see it as even though sometimes I'm just really tired and frustrated, I'm still doing a good job. I might be tired and not really able to see the positive side but they can and that's all that matters.

Gosh so sappy and over the top but still brought a tear to my eye. :)
Got me right in the feels! Damn you floor cake for still being good!!
That was not intended for the floor. Now she has to make another or buy one. Stupid brat.
