We SAHMs tend to feel guilty for not bringing in the pay check at the end of the month, don’t be! We have the rest of our lives to make money but watching Lauren smile for the first time, crawl for the first time, bang objects together for the first time… Priceless. I will not give this up for anything! So the next time anyone asks you, ‘What do you, a SAHM, do all day?” Just tell them all the lovely things we do!
My demure baby princess, Mummy loves you!
