I have always thought that the gifting procedure for Mother's Day and for birthdays should be reversed. In other words, on Mother's Day, I should be giving my children a gift to honor the fact that they made me a mother. And on my children's birthdays, they should be giving ME a gift to honor the fact that I gave birth to them and thus made it possible for them to actually have a birthday.
The gift of life is a gift that can never be truly gifted, truly understood, truly appreciated. Mothers hold a baby's life in their bodies and then in their hands. Slowly the child grows up and away from their mother and the letting go is also a precious gift.

Once named Womb To Grow, Saralee's Blog was dedicated to natural pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. It used to be associated with www.babynut.com. Babynut has gone out of business as of March 31, 2010. Now this Blog contains all of the parenting articles that used to reside on Babynut plus some cool quotes of wisdom and humor. I am not sure what this Blog will become. Perhaps a diary of running our B&B. Stay tuned!
