Let's Hear it for Moms

{being a mother of four children, this quote always makes me smile; especially on Mother's Day.}

"The way I see it, if you have four kids, you don't really have to do anything else, ever. Three kids is a handful, but one that many people manage to hold. If you're a mother of four, you definitely don't have to have a career or volunteer for the school fund-raiser or even bring an appetizer to the dinner party. In fact, people give you a lot of credit for wearing both earrings and knowing how to spell 'chaos' and 'antidepressant'. Four kids gives you a pass for every forgotten birthday, overlooked appointment, and missing form. Plus, you can be late for everything the rest of your life and never return phone calls. Who's gonna blame you?" by Kelly Corrigan in her book The Middle Place

Seriously..Happy Mother's Day to my sister (mother of three) and my mother (mother of two) and all of the mothers out there with any amount of children. Hope the day was grand. We enjoyed an adventure in New York City. My favorite part of the day remains the same ~ the many gifts "made with love" by my little ones.
