Starting this Blog

The life of a stay-at-home mom is a wonderful gift.  It is a joy to be present for every development in a child's life.  However, as every at-home mom knows, day in and day out, this lifestyle can be isolating, monotonous, and unproductive.  In an effort to take advantage of being at home and become the best mothers and wives possible, my sister and I are launching this blog.  It is our hope that this blog will motivate us to take small steps to becoming more and more like our ultimate model, the Virgin Mary.

The motto and title of our blog comes from St. Therese who reminds us that we are not called to do great things, but to do small things with great love.  The life of an at-home mom, or the life of any parent for that matter, is composed of a million little things, and very few big things.  We have a long ways to go, but through prayer and support we strive to change every diaper, make every meal, fold every shirt and sweep every floor with great love.  For, as St. Therese reminds us, "Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing."

We plan to write about small, simple things, things that compose the days of a stay-at-home mom: Cooking, Cleaning, Sewing, Praying, Child Care and other Home Projects.

We welcome any comments or suggestions you might have and we hope to create an on-line community with the same goals as ours.

In Christ, 

Nancy and Maria
