Mother’s Day Quotes 2013

With Mother’s Day just a couple days away I wanted to honor some of the amazing moms I see in my community and the many that I call my dearest friends and family.

Being a parent is such an important job but it is hard to describe it in one sentence, or even a paragraph. There are, however, many incredible quotes that really do sum up some of the moments nicely.

Here are a few of my favorites:

  • “Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is…and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.” ? Donna Ball, At Home on Ladybug Farm
