I have the best mom in 100 ways, but one thing that made me sad when I was a kid is she didn't love to play. She never got in the water because she didn't want to mess up her hair. Lots of not wanting to get dirty or sit on the ground. So that is one thing that I vowed to change with my two boys. When my mom was in town recently, she complemented me about how playful I am with them and mused how she was never like that and loves to see me doing it. It was such a lovely thing to have her notice and acknowledge it.
aw that's a beautiful reflection! I feel this deeply! It's so healing to let things "get messy". I think I saw a post somewhere recently that said "is it unsafe or is it just inconvenient". That really stuck with me. Cheers to more playing in the dirt with our babes.
I’ve been struggling with postpartum hyperthyroidism too. I’m exhausted! How did you get through it?
This is so relateable as I near my little turning 1, too! Love that you are embracing planning her first birthday and letting your inner child have fun with it 💕
Oh my goodness, sweet friend - I can’t believe it’s already been a full turn around the sun for you and Keira. What a beautiful, heart-expanding milestone. I’m always so moved by your writing, and I so appreciate your kind words about The Mother Years, it means the world to me 🥹✨
