Wise, funny, and encouraging quotes by mothers and about motherhood—in all its messy, wonderful glory. I have found being a mother has made me emotionally raw in many situations. Your heart is beating outside your body when you have a baby. —Kate Beckinsale In an era of online mom-shaming, Carissa Bonham likes to keep things authentic when discussing the struggles of modern motherhood.
