Stay At Home Mom??

This is the view I view alot these days.

I laugh now at the dreamy day dreams I used to dream about being a "stay at home mom". You know the ones: Baking Cookies, beating rugs outside in the fresh balmy air, reading to my kids on the couch most of the afternoon (with beef stew simmering on the stove of course). Then working on hand stitching a quilt while my baby (don't have one as of yet, and no I am not pregnant) plays and coos on the floor while giggling with delight when he/she catches my eye.
You know this type of picture:

I write this all in good humor though. I do get to squeeze in reading my kids, and I am very thankful for Viking Sewing machines! :D
