Mommy wisdom: First Lady Michelle Obama

“My daughters are the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning and they are the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. I am only as happy as my least sad child.”

When Michelle Obama spoke these words at a campaign rally in late October, I realized she had just put my entire thoughts on motherhood into those eight words. “Only as happy as my least sad child…”

Here is our First Lady speaking with Katie Couric about her roles as wife and mother:

    Michelle Obama is such a great inspiration to us all, and on so many different levels! I look at her as a strength inspiration, but all her words are well spoken, and most everything she says is true wisdom!

    @Michele and Lisa – She IS amazing. I’m glad someone like her is so high profile now. Maybe these little girls will look to her instead of those ridiculous Flavor of Love girls…
