The perfect Mother's Day gift! An 8x10 antique gold frame featuring the "Excuse The Mess" poem and displaying the NEW Mother of God intaglio.
 
"Some houses try to hide the fact that children shelter there,
Ours boasts it quite openly, the signs are everywhere.
For smears are on the windows, little smudges are on the doors
I should apologize, I guess for toys strew on the floor.
But I sat down with the children, and we played and laughed and read. And if the doorbell doesn’t shine, his eyes will shine instead.
For when at times I’m forced to choose, the one job or the other,
I’d like to have a tidy house,  but first I’ll be a mother."
