As moms, we often treat our kids’ milestones like they’re our own. Because let’s face it — in many ways they are!

Moms remember. We remember the big things and the little things. We remember more than we want to most of the time, too.

We remember the way our hearts ached as we took apart the crib. 

We remember the fear as we watched them drive off for the first time. 

We remember the joy when we held each of our children for the first time. 

We remember the first heartbreak, the first graduation, and the first touchdown. 

We remember these things because we have to.

We know the kids will all grow up and forge paths of their own that one day won’t include us. So we must remember. 

The team here at Knoxville Moms is made up of a variety of women with children of all ages and stages. Collectively, we’ve done a heck of a lot of mothering. 

Here are a few of our favorite motherhood milestones we’ve experienced over the years:
