What I Wanted to Say is a delightful collection of songs for the wife and mother, songs which encourage and uplift while using a sense of humor to portray the frustrations of everyday life in a world that devalues mothers.

Many are story songs; some are simply laments offering women a way to think about their lives. For them, this collection is a shot in the arm. The message of these songs is that sacrifice is noble, strong and vital to happiness. These songs ask women to ignore the messages of a convenience culture and remind them that life is loving, so mind the details. 

All songs are written and performed by Marie Bellet, housewife and mother of eight.
