May 9, 2014 by Tracey 17 Comments

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, here are 13 of my favorite quotes about moms.

  1. A suburban mother’s role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after. ~Peter De Vries
  2. Sweater, n.: garment worn by child when its’ mother is feeling chilly. ~Ambrose Bierce
  3. She never quite leaves her children at home, even when she doesn’t take them along. ~Margaret Culkin Banning
  4. A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. – Tenneva Jordan
  5. Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever. – Unknown
  6. Making a decision to have a child–it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. – Elizabeth Stone
  7. When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. – Sophia Loren
  8. And remember that behind every successful woman……is a basket of dirty laundry. – Unknown
  9. A mother is a person who if she is not there when you get home from school, you wouldn’t know how to get your dinner, and you wouldn’t feel like eating it anyway. – Anonymous

    These are great!! So true about getting your kids to sleep, though. No matter how much you love them or how fun they are; that break is a much needed blessing!
