Months back, the last time I was with my mama, I held her hand. She laughed a bit and fumbled around with the way she intertwined our fingers as she said, "This just feels unusual because it's been a long long time since I've held one of my girls' hands." It's been decades. Somewhere along the way, we stop holding hands with our mamas. But maybe today is the day we begin again. ❤I don't have enough words to do my mama justice. So I'll simply say, Happy Mother's Day to the very best of 'em! 🥰

Motherhood. It's a unique journey for each of us because that's exactly what our children are-- beautifully, wonderfully different. For me, it looks like:• Ugga Muggas and shared blankets on the couch• Falling asleep on bedroom floors when there's been a nightmare and I'm needed to be a dreamcatcher.•Abandoning my late night wind down when I hear sniffles upstairs, to which I take up space on the other side of the bed, giving a listening ear & reassurance that each feeling is valid- even the ones that hurt- and then offering to provide Laughter Therapy if she decides that she no longer wants to be burdened by sadness before sleep. (I have a whole arsenal of characters, the current favorite being Rigsley, my old stuffed Australian polar bear who frequently mispronounces words much to the confusion and amusement of Ernie But You Can Call Me Bernie, a character/voice I've also perfected in the past decade.)• Being asked deep questions about life and theology and being willing to say "I don't know. But let's learn together and share our own ideas when we discover any."• Starbucks + bookstore dates• Playdoh + "camping" in Tasha's bedroom tent• Sloppy picnics with fast food in my bed when Dada's on nightshift and we girls wanna be extra messy.• French braids and bathroom floor pedicures• Saturday morning blueberry muffins• "Tickle pits" and made up songs and car ride sing-alongs each morning before school• Splashing in mud puddles and trampoline jumping when the sun comes out again• Library dates and strolling around the park before we leave• Squeezing into a too tight leotard to practice ballet together• Being called Tasha... by Tasha• Kisses from the real Tasha and daily words of kindness & love from her sister.Truth be told, I have a migraine today. Might not seem like a "good" mothers day because I'm in pain. But it IS a good day because I'm with the people who made me Mom. I'm being covered with blankets & about 20 books that Tasha thinks I'd like to read. There are sounds of laughter and singing in my house, but the only thing I hear is my own voice repeating over and over "thank you. Thank you. Thank you."Happy Mother's Day! You're amazing.❤

I bought this for myself for Mother's Day. 😉I felt like getting a little crafty but not necessarily with paper the way I usually roll. And while the beautiful colors of yarn were calling out for me, begging me to take them home, I knew I wouldn't commit to knitting anything because 1. I only know one type of stitch and it ain't pretty 🤣 and 2. Natasha would likely unravel it even if I could make something worth my time. (Actually, I used to knit every night after dinner when I was pregnant with her-- I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't do much besides prop my feet up in bed, so Nadia would sit beside me and we'd watch Bob Ross and I'd knit what I think was going to be a purple scarf.... it's still in my nightstand unfinished. Lol)Anyways, I decided on this because it looks fast enough for me to complete before I get bored with it. 😅 And also, I haven't embroidered anything in roughly 30 years since the time my mom first put an old piece of fabric on a hoop and taught me how to sew. Such a sweet memory I have and seemed appropriate to think about on the weekend I celebrate my precious mama. ❤If this turns out, you'll see it. If it doesn't... you'll probably still see it so we can laugh together. 😁😂
