Rachel

Hello. My name is Rachel, and I love to write, read, create and share. So I've taken those passions and have turned it into this: Mother's Mementos. I hope to share creative ideas, simple recipes, illustrative how-tos, tales of survival on the mothering frontline, and stories of inspiration and encouragement.
I am wife to an amazing man and mother to two young boys.
I recently gave up my full-time job in the Big Apple to spend more time at home raising our two sons. Wow! I knew it would be hard work but I didn't know it would the hardest thing I've ever done.
Yet, it's also been the most rewarding (even on the teeth-clenching, toddler-chasing, running-in-circles, umpteenth-diaper-changing, voice-raising, hair-pulling days).
In a former life, I probably would've been voted "Least Likely to be a Homemaker". But once I actually had a child, maternal instincts kicked into high gear and next thing I knew I was whipping up cupcakes, baking cookies by the batches, making crafts, and changing cloth diapers (all of which I never did prior to becoming a mother). Thanks to the wealth of knowledge from other parents, reading books, browsing the web, and God's grace, I'm learning how to be resourceful and creative when it comes to parenting.
