who will i be

With Mother's Day around the corner, I've been dreaming about what kind of mom I'll be in the future. Obviously I want to be a good, nay great, one and raise healthy, happy and upstanding little people, but I also have some glamorous ideals. For instance, being the gourmand that I am, I really want to refine their tastebuds from birth. I also want to remain a lady, to whip up breakfast in my silk robe and to put on lipstick at the vanity with my little girl sitting next to me. Though when I was little, I thought my mother was impossibly beautiful, even in sweatpants (still do).

Mostly, though, I want my house to be filled with lots and lots of laughter.
