Will This Be My Last Chance At Playtime?

Will This Be My Last Chance At Playtime?

“Will you play with me, Mama?” I’ve always known a day will come when he won’t even ask anymore. But a few days ago, when he asked me to play, something in my heart told me to stop for a second. To take in the moment. To hear what he was asking. To watch what…

If You Give A Mom A Night Off

If You Give A Mom A Night Off

If you give a mom a night off to do nothing, she’s going to ask for some peace and quiet. When you give her the peace and quiet, she’s going to sit down to rest and bask in it. Before she’s finished resting, she’ll want to binge a few episodes of Bridgerton. But she’ll want…

Try To Assume The Best Of A Mama

Try To Assume The Best Of A Mama

If a mama is running late in the morning, just know she’s had a full day already. Murphy’s Law applies here, too: if it can go wrong, it will. And it probably has been going wrong since she first opened her eyes. If a mama’s house is messy, assume she picks up constantly. Her sweet…

The Day I Met My Baby, I Knew I Was The Luckiest Mom In The World

The day we met, I felt like the absolute luckiest girl in the world. He was mine, and I was his, and we celebrated our love by dancing. In the middle of the night, when he cried, while I soothed him, we danced. In the warmth of the sun, the first time he smiled, while…

To Know A Mama’s Heart, Think of All Her Firsts

To Know A Mama’s Heart, Think of All Her Firsts

When we talk about a mama’s lasts — she’s last to leave the house, to eat, to shower — we see just how hard she works, and just how much she gives, for the people she loves most. To know a mama’s sacrifice is to see her certain strength and her warm and gracious spirit….

I Always Thought My Little One Needed Me

I Always Thought My Little One Needed Me

I’m not sure if she’s the one who needed me, or if it was the other way around. As a baby, she slept in a little cradle that wasn’t quite close enough unless it was touching my bed. And still, somehow, it felt like she was too far away, so I slept on my side…

Tonight I Said Goodbye To The Last Of Your Littleness

Tonight I Said Goodbye To The Last Of Your Littleness

Tonight I said goodbye to the last of your littleness. And even though I knew the time was coming, it somehow caught me off guard. The realization hit me like a brick — it knocked me down, took the air from my lungs, and left me confused for a minute. I just can’t believe we…

What I Wish I’d Known Before I Had A Baby

What I Wish I’d Known Before I Had A Baby

Before I had my first baby, they said it would be the hardest thing — and the best thing — I would ever do. I knew I’d experience a pure and unconditional love. I knew there would be sleepless nights. I knew I couldn’t ignore my mental health or my marriage. But there are so…

I’m Not The Mom You Think I Am

I’m Not The Mom You Think I Am

I’m not the mom you think I am. I’m not the mom who stacks every day full of fun, educational activities. I LOVE to be that mom, and that’s why you see her in the park, at the zoo, and on social media sometimes, too. But every day? No, that mom’s not me. I’m not…

Why Preschool Graduation Is Such A Big Deal

Why Preschool Graduation Is Such A Big Deal

There’s something almost magical about a preschool graduation, where preciousness and innocence meet pomp and circumstance. There’s something so symbolic in watching five-year-olds march forward together, each of their tiny heads adorned with a cap so special it will only be worn a few times throughout their lives. I watch them walk toward the stage,…
