I'm a mom

As I was picking up Gracie's toys this morning, a task I do 3 or 4 times a day, I couldn't help but think to myself, I love being a mom.  There is nothing in this whole world that could replace me and my role as Gracie's mother.  Even more, there is also nothing that could replace the joy that Gracie brings to my life. 
Additionally, I love being my husband's wife. 


I pity the women who spend their lives complaining about their role as a wife, mother and homemaker.  I am doing the most important job, I'm the rock of our home and my family needs me, even though my work isn't glamorous, exciting or monetarily fruitful.

These two best friends are my best friends.

When I lament that I am not 'contributing' monetarily, Eric always points out that if I WASN'T staying at home, we'd be dishing out an arm and a leg for childcare. So. You ARE contributing monetarily. Glad you feel so fulfilled!

I love the line of being the rock of the home and that you are needed. So true! Amen sista. :)
