Since a stager on Active Rain suddenly finds herself with child and is wondering "what to do with her growing business", I though a few quotes from other women on the subject might be in order. I know that I have had many interesting and fulfilling jobs, but motherhood (if that is a job) has been the best of all. The others have come and gone, but I will always be a MOM. Now that my own children are starting out on their own , I'm finding a whole new group, that aren't biologically my children, but call me Mom just the same.

"Kudos to you if you're the first to cook meals for the infirm, head up the nursery program at church or donate time to the local orphanage. But keep in mind that your greatest ministry is as a wife."
