President Teddy Roosevelt said it best, "Comparison is the thief of joy." Most of us know that comparing won't make us happy, but it's a hard habit to kick, comparing houses, careers, relationships, and even parenting styles. Andrea Hymas has decided to embrace and celebrate the type of mother she is as she proclaims, "to be a mom in Andrea's way," not her preconceived notions of how mothers should behave. She has learned how to be a mom to her four kids in her style and is confident and secure that she is an adventure mom and enough as a mother. She may not be the mom that plays Lego's or has the dishes done, but at the end of the day, when she tucks her kids into bed, if they know she and God love them, that's what matters.
