Mom

So I was looking for a nice quote to fit into this cute book I was making at snapfish, and found a bunch of quotes on mothers. It was actually quite nice to read them, because it made me feel a little bit better at what I am doing every day. Sometimes it seems like you'll never make a difference and all the hard work of motherhood is shoved under the rug and not recognized. Well some of these quotes just really struck me, and I hope they do you too. So I will post them here. I would love to post more, but the small boy is sick, and I really need to tend to his needs. Poor little boy.
