I'm with you 100%…I absolutely love peonies and I so wish they were in season all year round 😉 I am so happy to be joining in on this inspiring blog hop with you and Balsam Hill, it was so much fun creating our tablescape. Happy Mother's Day! xo

I so agree with you about being able to stay home and raise your children.I did not get to stay home as much with my youngest I had to work as I was head of house.. For the mom in me it was just hard to leave him at daycare.

I was home with my daughter until she stared school and then I worked for the district until she graduated. Now she is a new mom and fortunately she can stay home for awhile. Truth be told, not everyone can afford quality daycare, which is very sad, because some moms have to work, the breadwinners. I'm sure your daughter can see the love of motherhood in her family and will be a loving and nurturing mom herself one day:).
Have a wonderful evening,
Kathleen in Az

I have never regretted quitting my job and becoming a stay at home mom. Now that my boys are 10 and 13, I am so thankful that I have been home with them. The time just flew by and I am glad I have been around for everything. Now as far as your mantel goes – just stunning! I cannot get over that those are not real flowers – wow! Just gorgeous!

Once I held my first baby, I knew I wasn't going back to work. I've loved raising my girls and didn't want to miss a thing. I wanted to be there when they got out of school and to have those fun chats with them while walking home. My girls are my world. My youngest is just finishing up middle school, so still need to be around. She'd say less:) I'm now finding myself wondering what to do with my extra free time. I've been doing a little more antiquing and house remodeling so that's been fun…well, sometimes not:/ Happy Mother's Day!

A mantel of true beauty and grace, just like your mother and grandmother. I had to chuckle when you stated that while your friends were chasing degrees and careers, you were chasing your babies….I too was in the same situation…but I loved being a full-time mom when my son was young. I will never regret that. As you stated, the best job in the world! Happy May Day and most of all Happy Mother's Day!!!
