Baby Pictures and a Wall.

Me and my oldest daughter.
I love the years I call my "Baby Years".  When I was a mother of small children.  I was what they now call A Stay at Home Mom.  That term did not exist in my time. 

The days were slow and lovely.  I baked bread and watched it rise.
I sewed during nap time or at night.
I watched my babies grow.


I chose pictures that I love.  Special for this wall.  I have more to add.

My special wall.
We replaced the carpet in our bedroom for hardwood flooring (I am hoping my allergies go away!).
So I moved furniture around and I love the new room arrangement.

I laid the pictures out on my bed to see how they would look.

Then I took a deep breath... and hung them the best I could.

I like it!

What beautiful photos! Love the arrangement on the wall. I would have loved to have stayed at home with my girls. As a teacher, at least I had decent hours. I was fortunate to have good child care, too.

Beautiful! I also loved it when my girls were small. I only worked one day a week and spent so much time with them. My husband works from home so we had a lot of time together with them. Bliss!
