Sean, here less than 24 hours old, is my legacy, my footprint on the worldSOME, OF ALL THE REASONS THERE ARE, TO BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CHILDREN:
They Are Love – There is no better, no stronger, no more unconditional and wonderful love than the love of a parent for their child.
They are constant companions/company – A home with children is never dull, never quiet and never lonely. Whether you need to pop out to the shop, or get your daily caffeine fix at Starbuck, or just have someone to sit next to on the sofa, with your baba around, you always have someone to tag along.
They are real entertainment – If you are a parent and you are ever bored, it is your own fault, pardon me for saying that, but children can provide you with constant entertainment, with anything from the faces they make to the things they say and do.
They are really good students– Your baby is always a student by your side, more eager to learn from you than any other (so therefore you should share all your experiences and knowledge whether great or small)
They are our legacy – I think I speak for most people when I say it’s our dream to leave a mark on the world, which is what we do through our children. Here is a very relevant and lovely quote to go with that:
"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body" ~Elizabeth Stone
And with that, I'm going to say good bye for now, wishing you all a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. Should you by any chance live in Sweden, you will no doubt be celebrating a very loved tradition tonight, called Valborg (Walpurgis). In any case, where ever you are; make it a good one :-) Cheers, and see you soon!

This entry is really beautiful. Comes from the heart and as a mother myself, it is amazing to see what motherhood has done to us! There is just an overflow of love for our babies.
Thank you, Diana! Motherhood is so special and precious. I love (almost!) every minute of it.. :-)
