just a teensy little portion of favorite memories, captures, and moments since becoming a mama to my baby bunnies…
oh, cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, but children grow up, as i’ve learned to my sorrow. so quiet down, cobwebs. dust, go to sleep. i’m rocking my baby. babies don’t keep. -song for a fifth child by ruth hulburt hamilton
motherhood!
if there’s anything that i’ve learned in the last almost four years, it’s that there is absolutely nothing more wonderful, humbling, eye-opening, exhausting, miraculous, forceful, terrifying, or worth it. i can’t imagine loving anything more than being a mother to my babies. of course, i’ll never measure up, but i have to say i learned all my finest stuff from the very best of them all. 🙂
motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling. it is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in. it is what god gave you time for. -neil l. anderson

Beautiful photos! Happy Mother's Day! And I love that quote about the cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow. So true! My mother in law once said, " They won't remember the dust but they'll remember the time you spent with them."
