I spied this adorable printable on laybabylay.com. I remember my mom had a cross stitch, with this exact poem, in our house when I was a little kid. Surrounded by seemingly endless piles of laundry, with my almost two-week old baby in my lap — these are the Supermom words I needed to hear today.

I saw this exact cross stitch in my daughters closet yesterday…my mom had this in my nursery!! So weird you posted this today!! I needed it yesterday as well.
I love this poem!
This was my motto I tried to live by when my children were growing up.
My mom had this in cross stitch on our wall as well! I remember being a kid and reading it over and over. She actually still has it on her “cross stitch” wall!! Love it….thanks for posting
I understand it so much more now that I’m a mother, don’t you?
My aunt wrote the entire poem from which this was taken about my cousin (who was her 5th child). It stil is so true after 54 years.
