Happy Mother's Day!

To all my fellow mommy's out there,
(those who are mom's now and those who are in their hearts, and someday will be)

I just wanted to share my favorite poem on this special day- a day to celebrate this amazing, hard, crazy and rewarding job that we call motherhood.

I'd rather be a mother than anyone on earth
bringing up a child or two (or4!) of unpretentious birth.

I'd rather tuck a little child all safe and sound in bed
than twine a chain of diamonds about my carefree head.

I'd rather wash a smudgy face with round, bright baby eyes

than paint the pageantry of fame or walk among the wise.
~Meredith Gray, from The Beauty of Motherhood


Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there and especially to my own mom.

I love you and am thankful for you every day. Thanks for being my mom.

And of course, I am most thankful for my 4 little blessings- who have given me this most amazing job. I really would "rather be a mother than anyone on earth." Thanks for giving me that opportunity.
