We are daughters, mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, neighbours, co-workers, friends and wives...but in any of these capacities we are able to mother. In whatever stage of life we are in, whether we are a mother or not, we have a wonderful opportunity to live our lives as a legacy for the next generation.

Fireflies – Shine from within
Just love this post from the blog Hands Free Mama, titled Children who shine from within. So worth a read! We need to appreciate all children and notice the ones who shine from within!
