The Good Life

I've said this many times in the past, and will continue saying it in the future. The one thing I want most in this life is to be a mother. Yes, I'm one of those girls that dreams of the little house with a wrap-around porch and white picket fence. I dream of days when I can sit in the yard, drink lemonade and watch my kids run through the sprinklers. Of course, life isn't perfect, and even during moments like that we find ourselves wishing we had more. But today, as of right now, that is my dream. With that said, I believe in being a stay-at-home mom and the benefits and joys that come out of it. I've have yet to be a mom, of course, but I think one of the best things I will be able to provide for my children in the future, will be the opportunities of waking them up in the mornings, cooking them breakfast, walking them to school, and be in the kitchen greeting them with fresh-baked cookies right from the oven when they get home. Then I will laugh and smile with them when they tell me all the wonderful things that happened that day, and cry and hug them when they tell me about the worst parts of their day. Call me a dreamer, but to me, that's what makes this life the good life.
