My Children Will Love Your Children

Right now, while my children are young, I have this beautiful chance to instill in them a passion for loving others. I have the chance to instill in them an awe of the beauty of every skin color, every language, every culture. To instill in them a true appreciation of differences. And I have a…

My Baby’s Off To Kindergarten

My Baby’s Off To Kindergarten

In just a few short days, I will walk my precious son to his kindergarten classroom. I know I can’t go in, so I’ll stop before we get there and crouch down to study his face, so sweet and anxious. I’ll tell him how very proud I am. I’ll tell him I know he’ll do…

Last Night, We Brought Out The Sick Tent

Last Night, We Brought Out The Sick Tent

Last night we brought out the sick tent. My kids each have their own — just a standard child’s play tent that sometimes serves a special purpose. I had a sick tent when I was little, too — a seemingly small piece of childhood that actually looms large in my memories. I remember my mom…

Every Mom Is A Superhero

Every Mom Is A Superhero

The mom of none is a superhero. I’m talking about the one who’s a mama in the deepest depths of her soul, even though you don’t see little ones running at her feet. Her heart may be shattered from losses. She may be desperately trying. She may be filling out the mountain of adoption paperwork….

I Wonder Who She’ll Be Someday

I Wonder Who She’ll Be Someday

I watch her sleeping peacefully, and I wonder who she’ll be. I wonder what will matter to her. I wonder who she’ll let through her walls, who she’ll trust with her secrets, who she’ll love. She doesn’t know how long I prayed for her. She doesn’t know how long I dreamed I’d be a precious…

Focusing On My Baby’s Firsts Is How I Get Through The Lasts

Every “last time” with my baby steals a tiny piece of my heart. And, as it turns out, I usually don’t even know it until it’s gone, and I’m left with a dull and unexpected ache to take the place of something I’ll never experience again. So sometimes, to make peace with the ache, I…

Kisses Were The First Thing To Go

Kisses Were The First Thing To Go

I guess you could say I’m lucky that kisses are the first thing to go. I’ve never missed a chance to smother my boy with kisses, after all. Those are the moments I can say I never took for granted. And if I’m being honest, I’ve taken a lot of motherhood moments for granted. I’ve…

An Intersection of Lifetimes: A Tale of Two Generations

An Intersection of Lifetimes: A Tale of Two Generations

What strikes me about this picture is that it captures the intersection of two lifetimes. It’s a beautiful, if inevitably too brief, overlapping of life’s most precious seasons. These two special girls, one in her spring and the other in her winter, share this fleeting moment in time, and somehow, I’m blessed enough to be…

I’ll Always Remember These Days With You

I don’t know if you’ll remember these days of being little. But I’ll remember. I’ll remember how beautiful it was to be your teacher when first you found your curiosity. And I’ll remember how extraordinary it was for you to be MY teacher when I rediscovered mine. I was the breakfast maker, still in my…
