Mothers Day

"In our society, we give motherhood plenty of lip service," says Oprah Winfrey. "We pat moms on the head, bring them flowers on Mother's Day, and honor them before crowds. But at the end of the day, we don't extend them the same respect we would a professor, a dentist, an accountant, or a judge.

"I believe the choice to become a mother is the choice to become one of the greatest spiritual teachers there is. To create an environment that's stimulating and nurturing, to pass on a sense of responsibility to another human being, to raise a child capable of anything--I know for sure that few callings are more honorable. To play down mothering as small is to crack the very foundation on which greatness stands.

"The world can only value mothering to the extent that women everywhere stand and declare that it must be so. In our hands we hold the power to transform the perception of motherhood....We should no longer allow a mother to be defined as 'just a mom.' It is on her back that great nations are built." ("What I know for Sure," O, The Oprah magazine)

Look at these adorable boys. I am so glad that I made the choice to be a mother.

I am so blessed to have them in my life.

I feel so blessed to be able to stay at home with them. While there are times it isn't easy, I'm so grateful that I do have that time with them.

This Mother's Day was great. How could it not be with little boys this cute?? Sure they're naughty sometimes but they are sweet and adorable enough to make up for it!!
