This Is Why I Love Motherhood by Little White Whale

For me, motherhood is a many splendored thing.

It’s keeping my fingers crossed no one breaks anything…else.

Because this Oscar child of mine always seems to find my hidden stash and then it’s nothing but hieroglyphs for days down the hallway and on the leather couch and the back of the dining room chairs.
