A Quote:

~ There is no “right” way to mother, just like there is no perfect child. In the same way that we let our children mold and influence what’s best for them, we need to let ourselves off the hook, get off our soap box and stop judging other mothers around us making different choices. There is no point in being a stay at home mother if you unintentionally transform yourself into the martyr (you know, that mom who is always more stressed out than everyone around her, as if she’s the only one experiencing parenthood). And there is definitely no benefit to being a working mother, if you accidentally become the elitist (that mom who won’t let herself relate to anyone who isn’t a colleague).

So whether we’re stay at home moms, working mavens or a little bit of both, the important thing is that we all share one particular job description above everything else…….. mom.

And in the end, do we really need anything more than that? ~

I read a lot of blogs, blogs about parenting, educating your children, living "green", family blogs, cooking, crafting, photography, etc., etc.!  The above is something I read on one of the blogs I frequent.  It really hit home with me and I think it would with a lot of mothers.  It's so hard to balance your life as a Mom and really, as a parent (Dad's included!)  So I thought I'd share this with everyone (that is, everyone who reads our blog!)
