Such a balance in all of it, mothering, and none of us does it perfectly, but--if they know they're loved--that's so much. I'm glad your daughter will have your words.

And this line made me catch my breath---Mothering is such a delicate balance of living a life of example before you of what a woman should be and throwing example out of the window for an impromptu game of tickles and giggles underneath bed sheets in mornings softest rays of light--- and you've named my FEAR here- the fear that somehow I'll miss it, my little ones growing big and that I'll wish I'd done things differently- that I'd not pursued my own dreams or not spent so much time in the kitchen or... the list goes on and on. But I love what you said about our kids NEEDING us to be who we're made to be. They need to see us using our talents, not burying them in the sand. You've set something free inside of me tonight- thank you. And that precious three year old of yours? I wish I could swing her around in that tutu and listen to her laugh. What a dear gift! She's beautiful like her mommy.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022107791689799322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108147564771067205.post-12135268962270209392013-02-20T17:54:58.628-08:002013-02-20T17:54:58.628-08:00What a beauty, yes =, the light glows from her!What a beauty, yes =, the light glows from her!HisFireFlyhttp://hisfirefly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108147564771067205.post-72527350804626707342013-02-20T17:42:13.910-08:002013-02-20T17:42:13.910-08:00Yay, so glad to see you back here.
