This is a story from Lisa-Jo's favorite book baby, Surprised by Motherhood: Everything I Never Expected About Being a Mom.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, Lisa-Jo invites us to celebrate the ordinary wonder of ordinary motherhood. Spoiler alert: there's really nothing ordinary about it. Or, if there is, it's an astonishing, glorious kind of ordinary.

Whether or not we have children of our own, motherhood weaves its way in and out of our stories in often unexpected ways. This week, let's be transported by Lisa-Jo's story of how motherhood removed the blinders from her eyes and taught her to see the beauty and richness of ordinary life.
