"There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one." - Jill Churchill
I love this picture and often imagine it when I think of this quote. Many of us put pressure on ourselves to make everything appear "perfect". It is in the imperfect moments that memories are made. I remember the morning we took this picture. My son isn't even looking at the camera. I'm pretty sure my daughter is drooling. Yes, my eyes are closed. I love how my son is looking at his sister and my daughter's silliness is coming through.
Do you have any quotes that inspire you as a mother, wife or daughter? Are there pictures that you find yourself looking at a little longer because they bring you back to a place - a moment of comfort and happiness?
Great quote! This morning while reading the book "18 Minutes" I came across a quote from a mom whose child has autism and she said "I'm not the mother I planned to be, I'm the mother I have to be." Even though I'm not a mom yet, that resonated deeply with me.

DeleteI love the poster that says good moms have sticky floors, dirty ovens, and happy kids. Story of my life. We make memories everyday and when things get done yay. Not a quote but something I reflect upon a lot.
