Housework can kill you if done right.

Did you ever notice that the first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone?

There's something wrong with a mother who washes out a measuring cup with soap and water after she's only measured water in it.

No baby shall at any time be quartered in a house where there are no soft laps, no laughter, or no love.

It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have...One pair that see through closed doors. Another in the back of her head...and, of course, the ones in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and reflect 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word.

In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn't danced in television.

I have always felt that too much time was given before the birth, which is spent learning things like how to breathe in and out with your husband (I had my baby when they gave you a shot in the hip and you didn't wake up until the kid was ready to start school), and not enough time given to how to mother after the baby is born.
