Πάντα το είχαμε απορία πώς μπορούν οι μητέρες μας να δουλεύουν και παράλληλα να φροντίζουν το σπίτι, να μαγειρεύουν, να καθαρίζουν, να διαβάζουν και να παίζουν μαζί μας, να είναι παντού, όταν τις χρειαζόμαστε και παράλληλα να καλύπτουν όλες τις εξωτερικές τους υποχρεώσεις. Γιατί, ας μη γελιόμαστε, όσο βοηθητικός και να είναι ένας πατέρας, το μεγαλύτερο μερίδιο ευθυνών σε ένα σπίτι το έχει η μητέρα.
Αυτή τη σκληρή καθημερινότητα προσπάθησε να δείξει η φωτογράφος και μητέρα Giedre Gomes, η οποία ζει στην Ιντιάνα των ΗΠΑ, μέσα από ένα άλμπουμ φωτογραφιών που περιλαμβάνει τις μικρές καθημερινές στιγμές μιας μητέρας στο σπίτι με τα παιδιά.
