From Super Mom to Super-Duper Mom

The torch has passed from Super Mom to Super-Duper Mom.  Remember Super Mom?  She was perfect -- she had a great career, accomplished and well-behaved children, a tidy home and an overflowing calendar.

Today's Mom sees the perfection in being less-than-perfect.  Quality time and quantity time both count.  She's still got her career, but she has crafted it in a way that allows her to enjoy her life and kids (at least that's what she's working on!).  Experiences are starting to matter more than 'things', family time takes precedence over house-cleaning and conversation is starting to replace high-tech sterility.  Best of all, pure enjoyment ranks higher than ever. 

Super-Duper Mom may not be a perfectionist, but her kids appreciate it more than ever.
