I have wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. When I was 5, I told someone at church that I wanted to have 10 kids! Funny how I went from 10 - 2!

Posted under Motherhood on Sunday, 12 June 2011 by editor
What makes a good mother? It is a pertinent question whose answer cannot be contained within a few words. Motherhood involves a bundle of emotions that sometimes defy reason.
