Homemaking on the Homestead

This is a post from a few years ago (my daughter is not in Denmark ;) .  I'm posting this in honor of Mother's Day. There is no doubt that being a mother is the most rewarding, exciting, stressful, joyful and hardest job in the world.  But it is one that brings a mothers heart more love, more joy, more fulfillment than could be imagined.  Remember, if you are a mother of young children, one day it will all be memories and cherish each day that you have with your sweet little ones!! Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas reading this!!   (in between the paragraphs of this article are a few random pics of my kids/family through the years).. Leanne left on Wednesday morning for Denmark to spend 3 weeks with Emily. To say I was stressed for those nearly 24 hours of flights and layovers is an understatement. She arrived safe and sound and is currently with Emily enjoying her time in Copenhagen. But it made me reflect a bit on raising children. I thought...

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day but I figured I get this out a day ahead of time. Becoming a mother is something no one can prepare you for. The moment they put that small little human being into your arms you are in love and have a bond that will stay with you the rest of your life. It is the most amazing experience. In that moment you become a mother your life will never be the same. It is THE most wonderful, rewarding, joyful and incredible experience. It will take you places physically and emotionally that you never knew existed. And you will never regret one moment of it. Happy Mother’s Day!!!! Three years ago I wrote a post entitled “A Few Reflections on Raising Children”. I am reposting it here today for my Mother’s Day Post. This is a REPOST (my daughters are not in Denmark anymore.. LOL.. I’ve done reposts in the past and sometimes people do not realize that it is an older post, so I just wanted to make that clear).. A Few Reflections on Raising Children   ...
