Motherhood is like a cupcake

Motherhood is like a big fancy $5 farmers market cupcake. 
At first glance, the price tag seems outrageous.  But, it also appears remarkably beautiful.
Once you take your first bite, the taste inside is more amazing than you ever thought it could be. Just like how the deeper you go into motherhood, the more rewarding it is.

Ahhh, But cupcakes are so messy.  Cupcakes leave frosting in the corners of your mouth.  The real good ones even temporarily stain your teeth.  They leave a trail of crumbs, just as our precious children do, too.
Cupcakes are a big beautiful mess, just like motherhood. 
It's a big beautiful mess, worth embracing.
