Happy Mother's Day...

Rediscovering everyday mothering � More mothers are staying at home - Catholic Online:

"In a new twist, women today are choosing raising children over building careers, and the idea that homemaking has a special dignity all its own is catching on once again.

Many media reports claim that Ivy League college graduates in comfortable careers are just as likely to leave the job as less career-oriented women. Recent studies, widely publicized, have shown that at-home mothers are also happier in their marriages.

The trend is also gaining a foothold in Great Britain, where the Sunday Times reported April 16 that the new educated woman 'is a housewife,' who regards her prime responsibility as bringing up the children.

For many Catholic moms, staying home with children is neither a new trend nor a revelation for its marriage-strengthening properties. Embracing the vocation of motherhood is about embracing God's will, many say, and making the sacrifice for the greater good. "
