Random follow #179 - @mother3bears

Lovely people attract lovely people.  If you are a lovely person who is genuine, tweets with grace and are gracious to other people then you will both follow and be followed by those same kinds of people.  Well that is totally true of today's tweeter @mother3bears.

Even if you only knew her adopted twitter name that would be enough to make me go "awwww".  Being a wife and a mum to three boys who are all quickly developing both emotionally and physically is quite a demanding undertaking on its own.  And you know what - there isn't an instruction book either.

Throw in some school holidays and things can get really, really trying.  But hey that's all a part of a being a parent.  What Joey does is share some little life snippets of both the fun times and the trying times as well. Such as -

"I must not yell at my boys to shut up. Must not. They are playing happily. A day at home was not a good idea. They are too full of energy!!"

Raising one child at any age is not easy.  For this lady who is raising three boys whose ages range from 7 to 11 you can up the not being easy bit by quite a bit.  But at the same time with the trials come all the rewards and golden moments that make being a parent completely special.

But like every interesting and valuable tweeter there is far more complexity to @mother3bears than just being a mum.  She is also a woman who takes care in her appearance and works hard to keep in shape -

"Time to haul butt. 10km bike ride is on the agenda & start the ball rolling on our house move. *stomach churns nervously*".

And she also enjoys the little moments in life when she can have mum time -

"First day of term break. PJ day! Yay. I also went back up sleep to 8.40am. Shhhhh, don't tell my poor working hubby!"

Anyway.  Joey and her family have returned to New Zealand after a jaunt away in the UK and now they are are home.  Settling in, living their lives, raising some remarkable young men and tweeting.  So if you are one of those people I described earlier - lovely, gracious and patient then I recommend you follow @mother3bears.  You will love her!
