Hey Guys, I’m blogging this so I can one day come back to my thoughts, or perhaps lend some insight to whoever’s reading. =) So…I’ve been thinking…there’s this preconception about mothers who create, it is that we have successfully figured out the whole working a job, keeping the house together, being the model wife and raising happy healthy children thing– […]
