Babies Don’t Keep

I spied this adorable printable on laybabylay.com. I remember my mom had a cross stitch, with this exact poem, in our house when I was a little kid. Surrounded by seemingly endless piles of laundry, with my almost two-week old baby in my lap — these are the Supermom words I needed to hear today.

  3. My aunt wrote the entire poem from which this was taken about my cousin (who was her 5th child). It stil is so true after 54 years.
