Hello, fellow mommies!
Motherhood is a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, and it’s these surprising moments that often bring us the most joy. Let me share a story from a sunny Saturday that turned into one of those unforgettable family adventures—it might just give you a chuckle and remind you that sometimes, embracing the chaos is the best thing we can do!
It was a perfect day for a picnic in the park. As we unpacked our picnic basket and laid out the blanket, my youngest child, always full of energy, spotted a group of ducks waddling nearby. With excitement in their eyes, they dashed towards the ducks, arms flailing and shouting, “Quack, quack, quack!”

Before I could react, chaos ensued as my other child, who is afraid of birds, began to panic and darted in the opposite direction, screaming at the top of their lungs. Amidst the commotion, I found myself torn between chasing after my runaway child and trying to calm down the one imitating a duck.

Meanwhile, our family dog, sensing the excitement, decided to join in the fun and started chasing the ducks, barking loudly and causing even more chaos. As I tried to wrangle everyone together, I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. Here we were, in the middle of the park, with ducks, children, and a dog all running amok in different directions.
There I was, caught in the middle of this uproarious spectacle—my kids and dog scattering in every direction, and the ducks understandably confused. I had to make a split-second decision: rescue my child from their avian terror or corral my enthusiastic duck impersonator and our overly spirited dog.
Eventually, I managed to corral everyone back to our picnic blanket, where we collapsed in fits of laughter, the chaos of the moment quickly turning into a cherished memory. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable moments in parenting are the ones filled with laughter, spontaneity, and a healthy dose of chaos.
And despite the mayhem, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the joy and laughter that my children bring into my life every single day.
To all the moms out there navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, remember, it’s these unpredictable, messy, hilarious moments that make the journey so extraordinary. They teach us to find joy in the little surprises, to laugh off the mishaps, and to appreciate the spontaneous bursts of childhood wonder.
So here’s to more quacking, more chasing, and yes, even more screaming, because at the end of the day, these are the moments we’ll look back on and laugh about. They’re the stories we’ll share, the memories we’ll cherish, and the times that remind us why being a mom is the best job in the world.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there making a difference in their little ones’ lives. Keep loving, keep laughing, and keep embracing the wonderful chaos of motherhood.
With love and laughter,
Garima Rustagi
