A lovely friend of mine gave birth January 14, 2015 , we had so much fun!

Mckenzie was exactly who I needed to be by my side while giving birth. She knew just what I needed to be relaxed and calm. She set the mood for what became my perfect birth; involving my husband and mom. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. You know what you are doing!

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle is the Hand that Rules the World

William Ross Wallace (1819-1881)
THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE IS THE HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD.

BLESSINGS on the hand of women! 
 Angels guard its strength and grace.
 In the palace, cottage, hovel, 
 Oh, no matter where the place; 
 Would that never storms assailed it, 
 Rainbows ever gently curled, 
 For the hand that rocks the cradle 
 Is the hand that rules the world. 
 Infancy's the tender fountain, 
 Power may with beauty flow, 
 Mothers first to guide the streamlets, 
 From them souls unresting grow— 
 Grow on for the good or evil, 
 Sunshine streamed or evil hurled, 
 For the hand that rocks the cradle 
 Is the hand that rules the world. 
 Woman, how divine your mission, 
 Here upon our natal sod; 
 Keep—oh, keep the young heart open 
 Always to the breath of God!
 All true trophies of the ages 
 Are from mother-love impearled, 
 For the hand that rocks the cradle 
 Is the hand that rules the world. 
 Blessings on the hand of women! 
 Fathers, sons, and daughters cry, 
 And the sacred song is mingled 
 With the worship in the sky— 
 Mingles where no tempest darkens, 
 Rainbows evermore are hurled; 
 For the hand that rocks the cradle
 Is the hand that rules the world. 

 Wonderful Poem that I found because my wonderful grandma shared a quote with me, she knows all and has so much love for the women of this world as do I.
