A Mother’s Day gift for a work-at-home mom
What do you give a work-at-home mom for Mother’s Day? I can really only think of one thing that I want: time*.
I want time to sleep in when none of the kids need me or is doing something I would be sorry to miss.
I want time to catch up on their baby books.
I want time to call each of my girlfriends and have a long chat.
I want time to finish cross-stitching Alexandra’s Christmas stocking so that I can start Harrison’s with enough time to finish it before the holidays.
I want time to play and lose a game of Go to my husband.
Not doable? Then I’ll take a typical crazy Sunday preparing for another school/work week with the people I love the most.
*Yes, I’m writing about time again. The next post will be about something entirely different. I promise.

I love your list
On Mother’s Day I want a fun day with my baby and husband. No worrying about work or what needs to be done around the house or errands I have to take care of. I want a day with just the three of us playing and having fun. So many people think being a work-at-home mom means you get tons of time to play and have fun, but more often than not you’re too busy balancing. I hope this Sunday I get lots of time to stop and smell the roses.
