Here are a few quotes to help you see what you are in for…

• “What matters is today. Today when you pick that child up and tell them that you love them and you give of yourself making pbjs and wiping noses and reading stories and rocking newborns in chairs in the wee hours of the morning. It matters that you drive your eleven year old to their classes and wait in the car and pack them sweet notes. Being a mom matters more than how we became moms.”

from the letter “Dear mom no matter how you became a mom.”

• “Don’t let life, don’t let the crazy pace of life, the unending cycle of busy rob you from the minutes with your family. Don’t let the books that they want to read stay on the couch for days until the day when that old Arthur book never leaves the shelf because the six year old has grown and lost and lost interest in the story.”

from the letter “Dear in a Minute Mom.”

• “I know you cried in the grocery store.
  It was in the baking aisle, by the flour, with the big sale signs hanging on the shelves. You were standing there, looking at the flour, and then in your own cart. At the 16oz bag of almond flour that cost you $12 and the sweet rice flour. Then you saw the shelves loaded with heavy bags of white unbleached wheat flour.
  And you started to cry.”

from the letter “Dear mom of the little boy with celiac disease.”

• “To you the out of breath mom who wants to throw in the towel on a hard day.
  It’s that day that goes off track at 9:04 am and you want to throw your arms in the air and grab the Ben and Jerry’s from the fridge and turn on TLC and watch A Baby Story marathon and you’re wishing that it was tomorrow and you don’t know how to finish and the kids are fussing and you’re totally behind and really you’re out of breath.
  Stop.
  Just stop. For a moment. Just for a minute and listen.”

from the letter “Dear mom on the hard days.”
