“Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is…and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”
~ Donna Ball, At Home on Ladybug Farm ~

“But behind all your stories is your mother’s story because hers is where yours begins.”

    I am so very thankful for my mother, she is a wonderful, kind, intelligent and loving mother. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I hope that you have been well. Are things coming back together after the pipes bursting? Have Spring arrived and perhaps you are getting a little rest from the long winter?

    Hello Sandra!
    Lovely mother-y quotes today!
    I think the songs that come out of our mouths when we rock a baby are holy. Babies don't complain. I think we need lullabies, too. I remember singing to myself as much as the babies.
