05 .23 .14 The Beauty of Motherhood

Actor Michelle Williams said something I will never forget when she accepted her Oscar in 2012. Thanking her daughter, Matilda, the award-winner said “I am a mother first.”

I recently read a quote by Sophia Loren that struck me, too. She said “When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.”

I love these vintage photos and how you can almost forget that these great women were never really recognized as mothers first.
