A mom knows or does she?

I'm busy trying to come up with stocking stuffers for my kids. Funny how easy it used to be!  I would have a list  and it would be so easy... which lead me to this topic!

"A mother understands what a child does not say."
Unknown... but oh so true!

"Nothing else will ever make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, as motherhood."
Elia Parsons

*There was a time when my two were little that I never thought that I would ever sleep an entire night again. But oh, how I would love to have those days back.

Now bacon floss... not sure that my grown up son would like it... but I know that my crazy brother would!!

Today's Special Moment

Have you hugged someone today? I don't think that a single day should go by when you don't hug at least one person! Who are you going to hug?

If I can stop one heart from breaking.
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain.
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again.
I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickenson

Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.
H. Jackson Brown
