Each Day Is A New Beginning...

Some people hate wild honeysuckle.  I love it.  This is one of the photos I took yesterday and added the quote.  Enjoy your Saturday!

Early Morning Dew...

I was out in the backyard around 5:45am taking these shots this morning...the light was extraordinary!  It's quite possible my neighbors think I'm nuts.  They might be right.

For all the choices we make as a Moms...

I don't know who wrote this, but a co-worker showed me this today and it's a perfect reminder that we're all doing the best we can no matter what choices we make as Moms.  Enjoy...

To the Mom who's breastfeeding:  Way to go!  It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage!  You're a good Mom.

To the Mom who's formula feeding:  Isn't science amazing?  To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough would suffer.  But now?  Better living through chemistry!  You're a good Mom.

To the cloth diapering Mom:  Fluffy bums are the cutest and oh, so friendly on the bank account.  You're a good Mom.

To the disposable diapering Mom:  Dang those things hold a lot, and it's excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry!  You're a good Mom.

To the Mom who stays at home:  I can imagine it isn't easy doing what you do, but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing.  You're a good Mom.

To the Mom who works:  It's wonderful that you're sticking to your career, you're a positive role model for your children in so many ways, it's fantastic!  You're a good Mom.

To the Mom who had to feed her kids from the drive-thru all week because you're too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping:  You're feeding your kids, and hey, I bet they aren't complaining!  Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in a red box with a big yellow M on it.  You're a good Mom.

To the Mom who gave her kids a home-cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for the past week:  Excellent!  Good nutrition is important, and they're learning to enjoy healthy foods at an early age.  You're a good Mom.

To the Mom with the kids sitting quietly and using their manners in the fancy restaurant:  Kudos, it takes a lot to maintain order with children in a place where they can't run around.  You're a good Mom.

To the Mom with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle:  they always seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds, don't they?  We've all been through it.  You're a good Mom.

To the Moms who judge other Moms for ANY of the above?
