Carrie is the President of the North Beaverton MOMs Club, a support group of moms who choose to stay at home with their children. Her adorable daughter welcomed me into her room and the two of us had an afternoon playdate. She showed me everything she loves, her dolly, her tea set, her vanity, shoes, and make-up! We read a book about cupcakes, we danced on the bed and played a little dress-up. As I interacted with this little princess and observed her mother with her, it really got me thinking about what it means to be a stay at home mom. From my own experience and in this particular case, I believe it means that this beautiful daughter knows not only how to put on make-up and take care of her dollys. She knows how to take care of herself and others because someone who loves her unconditionally, showed her how. As mothers it’s easy to lose sight of the value in what we do each day. To Carrie, when you look at these images I hope you are reminded that your daughter is lovely and gracious inside and out because of you, and that is priceless.
These pictures were amazing, and captured the essence of A! I especially love the one of her looking in the mirror with the shoe hanging off her foot.
