Great Quotes about Mom-Life and Motherhood
Wanna know something about me? I love Pinterest!
You too? Great! Let’s be friends – you can follow my boards here!
What I love so much about Pinterest is that it helps you to find things you didn’t even know you were looking for.
Here’s an example. The other night I hopped on to search for a cookie recipe and when I opened my feed I saw a quote about motherhood that spoke directly to my heart.
It was almost as if Pinterest had been watching me interact with my children throughout the day and knew exactly what I needed to hear to feel like I wasn’t a complete failure as a mom.
Over the years I have collected many quotes about motherhood in order to refer to when I need them for myself or to share with a friend.
Today I am sharing them with you!
