Six Words on Motherhood, by Oregon Moms

May 9, 2015

MOTHERHOOD.  In Six Words?

Yes, that’s what we’re asking you. (< see, that was 6 words!)

Here’s the deal: We’re partnering with Smith Magazine’s Six-Word Memoir project to gather thoughts on motherhood from Oregon moms. Then we’re going to share them, in a variety of ways.

One thing: It can be addictive. If you write more than one (we all did), please submit your favorite.

Go ahead, whittle down motherhood into a mere six words!  Here are a few to get you thinking:

  • Bore two, lost two, my choice.
  • Too big, Too fast, Too wonderful.
  • There is no dignity in motherhood.
  • Don’t make me stop the car.

Your turn! Just type your six words here and then, please, ask your friends to jump in.  The more voices we can gather, the better. [Please know that we may use your submission along with your name in our web & print materials]

We made a little Scout “to do” list notebook with these quotes throughout, grab yours now!
