Our Clan!

I came across this quote and it fits me perfectly.

"Some homes try to hide the fact that children shelter there. Ours boasts of it quite openly, the signs are everywhere. For smears are on the windows, Little smudges on the door; I should apologize I guess, For the toys strewn on the floor. But I sat down with the children: We played and laughed and read. And if the doorbell doesn’t shine, their eyes will shine instead. For when at times I’m forced to choose The one job or the other, I want to be a homemaker But first I’ll be a mother." --author unknown

I do love a clean and organized home, however I love the time I spend with my children more. I love the little marks that they leave behind as well. If you came to my house you'll see smudge marks on the glass doors to our office and entertainment center. You'll see hand prints on the back door. I love them there and it takes me weeks to clean them off. I know that the past few posts I have done have all been about being a Mother, but I can't help feel very grateful for this responsibility that I have. It's overwhelming a lot of the times, but the most rewarding thing that I do on a daily basis. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
