Welcome to Because Mom said so. For the same moms you have grown to love but with a new

twist. Join us each week as we talk about topics related to womanhood, to motherhood and

everything in between. I'm Melissa, mom of two, Maddie and Kenzie. I'm Jill, mom of three

girls, Riley, Charlotte and Kenzo. I'm Holly, mom of three, Ebonya and William. I'm Kelly,

mom of three, Brooke, Joshua and Paige. Hi guys, how are you all? Hello. Hello. Enjoying the sunshine.

Oh yeah, is it sunny there? Yeah, you guys have nice weather finally. It's gorgeous. I got out my

patio furniture and my cushions, you know, for my outdoor living. I love it. I was so happy to be

home for three weeks. I'm going to start coming home like once a month now or try to come home

about once a month. That's great. And I'm going to try to do a lot more in the summer. Yeah, that's

cool. I'm really excited. I really miss home. Being home that long. I was like, I cried when I left.

I just didn't want to come back. I didn't realize you were there for three weeks. It's one of those

things I realized and it's been wonderful. I mean, there are certain blessings that have happened

because of COVID. I will say that I've spent more time at home than I normally did. I was

already planning on spending more time here anyway. But it forced me to be at home and I have really

have just enjoyed the time with my husband, my kids, just being at home and being even more connected,

I would say to my parents and my siblings because I'm on the same time zone as they are. It just

makes me appreciate things a little bit differently and definitely more. And I think that's it for

granted. I'd love to being home and I love to climb on the counters and go through the cabinets and

Greg's like, what do you do? I'm like, I'm organizing. So I reorganize and he goes, the trash is

overflowing. I'm like, yep, that's what it does, you know, and I come together every night and it was

really fun. Did puzzles, watched movies, we hiked. I love the new hiking, well, it's not new,

but the hiking trail in Murray'sville. Well, we have to take our doggies there too. How I want you
