"Suddenly, through birthing a daughter, a woman finds herself face to face not only with an infant, a little girl, a woman-to-be, but also with her own unresolved conflicts from the past and her hopes and dreams for the future.... As though experiencing an earthquake, mothers of daughters may find their lives shifted, their deep feelings unearthed..." 

~E. Debold 

I recently found this website called Resolved 2 Worship (www.xanga.com/resolved2worship) through a friend. The writer, Allysa, is always coming up with witty quotes, inspiring Christian messages, and motherly advice. Her photography is amazing, so I am hooked. Check it out. No one, and I mean no one, has ever made large families look so appealing. I told my husband to check out this site and he had to cough behind his hand in astonishment. He said, "She doesn't quite fit your stereotype of a Granola Mama." It is hardly fathomable that a woman could have 6 children (7th on the way) and still look like a super model.
