The Life I Chose

Sofie Polfliet never made a grand announcement. She simply chose love. With four children — including twins born just a year apart from their older sister — and a fifth on the way, Sofie shares the honest, unfiltered story of what it really means to be a stay-at-home mother today. The sleepless nights. The invisible work. The loneliness nobody talks about. The joy that makes it all worth it. In a world where staying home is sometimes seen as "just being a mom" or "depending on your husband," this book is a quiet act of defiance — and a warm hand reaching out to every mother who has ever felt misunderstood, unseen, or simply exhausted. This is not a perfect motherhood story. It is a real one. For the moms doing their best every single day. For the children who were always chosen. For the life she chose — and would choose again.
