Hello! No new blog post this week; however, as Mother’s Day approaches here are some of my more popular posts about parenting. Feel free to take a look while pretending you can’t hear your children shouting at each other to be quiet while they burn your breakfast-in-bed toast.
It’s Ok To Say You’re a Mother
A Mother’s Vacation Gratitude Journal
I’ll be back next week with new content. Happy Mother’s Day!
“Use two hands,” I used to say. I don’t have to say it often anymore. She knows when to use two hands. For hugs, for spreading open to the world, for twirling, for riding her two-wheeler.
Two hands to paint bold masterpieces of my heart, and, in measured time, two hands to hold her work back so as to cast a critical eye. Two hands to add a dab, a spot, a splosh.
Two hands hold onto mine because she wants to dance and for her, dancing is largely variations on Ring Around the Rosie.
