This week we are all about celebrating moms!! We are excited to feature one of our favorite "Gypsy Mamas" miss Miko Bowen. Miko lives in Ogden Utah with her husband and her 6 beautiful kids. (yes...I said 6 kids)
We've asked Miko a few questions about motherhood...and after 6 kids, she knows her stuff! You can get to know Miko and her family on her brand new blog SIMPLE LIKE LOVE and please follow her on instagram @MIKOBOWEN -that's where we first discovered her, and her feed is simply lovely.
HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE, AND WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES/AGES?
I have 6 kids! Taylor (18) Addison (17) Mathew (16) Aden (14) Liam (7) and Liliana (3)
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT BEING A MOM?
Watching my children succeed. It brings so much joy to my heart to see them conquer something, whether big or small. To see their genuine happiness and success is definitely something I love.
WHAT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS ABOUT BEING A MOM?
Oh, man. I'd say learning to let go of your expectations for your children and accepting and loving them for who they are. Before you become a parent, you think you know just how it's going to go. You may even criticize or look down on other parents with thoughts of "I'll never do that" or "That will never be me" but until you are there, in the crux of it all, you truly will never understand why we as parents, do the things we do.
HOW HAS YOUR PERSONAL STYLE CHANGED SINCE BECOMING A MOM?
I wouldn't say it's changed. I started my family so young that I've just tried to keep my style up along the way. My goal is to keep up with current trends no matter what age i am. So when you see me when I'm 80, don't be alarmed if I am still wearing my ripped jeans and parting my grey hair down the middle!
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A "SOON TO BE" MOM?
Don't listen to anybody else but yourself! You are your child's ultimate gift, you know exactly what, when and how they need you. Trust your gut and relax. Everything will be just fine.
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES WITH YOUR CHILDREN SO FAR?
This is hard. I don't really have a favorite memory. Usually my absolute favorite moments are when all of my kids are home and we are just hanging out...usually in the kitchen while I cook. They chat and tell me about their day, and sometimes there's a little dance party mixed in!
My favorite moments are just the average ones, when we're all together.
We LOVE all of Miko's thoughts on motherhood!! Thank you so much miss Miko...and we hope you are still blogging and instagramming your beautiful family when you are 80! Long grey hair and all! haha!
