A weekly-ish blog sharing my series of collages about growing up in the South during the 1950s.

"M" - SHE WANTED TO BE A MOM
I could hardly wait to be a mom, although I didn't really know what that meant! I wanted a boy and a girl as in the song "Tea For Two" - they would be twins named Jimmy and Jane.
Nice collage and memory. I wanted twins too, a boy and a girl. I grew up wanting to be a mom but sadly, that didn't happen for me. Are you the mom of a boy or girl, or both? Jimmy and Jane? :)
Hi JerseyLil, thank you for the comment. Yes, I am a Mom - I have four daughters, and eight grandchildren - no twins named Jimmy and Jane. I am very lucky. Girls don't feel quite as pressured today to have children, since there are so many options.
