The Occupation of Mothering

I've been thinking about the under-appreciated occupation of mothering. This is what I would put on a LinkedIn profile if I ever created one. From stay-at-home mom to working mom, single or married, this profile applies to us all. I appreciate you, momma.  Keep up your hard work.  

"Occupation:  Sole proprietor of Gilmour Place, an educational home care facility specializing in spiritual, emotional, mental, academic, and life skills education.  We also cater to physical needs providing meals, medical and hygiene care, and transportation to all events and appointments.  All maintenance is handled on site, including, but not limited to, laundry and cleaning services.  Other services include decluttering, organizing, decorating, landscaping, and home repair.  Management of multiple persons and events, conflict resolution, administration, bookkeeping, and scheduling is also provided.  An introduction to music and the arts, as well as opportunities to participate in a variety of sports is also provided, although character development and faith are of utmost importance."  

Mothering is hard.  So very, very hard.  Keep up the hard work, mommas--God is with you.
