Another amazing study on the benefits of pregnancy:
According to Krulwich there is increasing evidence that “when a woman has a baby, she gets not just a son or daughter, [but] an army of protective cells – gifts from her children that will stay inside her and defend her for the rest of her life.”

A must read. This beautful and powerful post from Rachel Jankovic reminds us that in dying, we truly live:

Some excellent thoughts from Kelly Crawford at Generation Cedar:

Here’s a must read for all my fellow (often weary) mothers out there:
I had an experience that moved me a few years ago, though. It was an evening I spent bathing my children that very literally revolutionized my perspective on mothering. Longing to tell you all about it, I shared a similar version of this [...]
