It seems that I am still thinking about Mothers even after Mother's Day has passed. I feel very, well "full" seems to be the word that best describes it, I feel very full as I think about some of the mothers in my life. Some mothers that mean alot to me. I have been thinking about you all alot this week.
My own mother of course - there aren't enough words to describe what she means to me. She has loved, cared for, supported me like no other. She is my best friend.
My Nanny. There could be no sweeter grandmother. I loved her so much and think of countless amazing memories of her love for me. I so wish my girls could have known her. There is a hole in our lives where she should be.
Sarah. You are raising amazing kids. I pray that my girls will be as sweet, smart, beautiful and loving as yours are. You help me so much as I raise Audrey and Alaina. And I am so thankful for how you love my girls.
Connie. You are such an example for me. Really, you are. I hope I can be a mom like you.
Katie. We shared an amazing journey of having our 1st babies together. That's a special journey I really shared with no other.
Marianne, Becca and Amy - I love being a mother alongside you all. I love sharing this time with you all. The ins and outs, questions and solutions, feeding, playing, potty training. So fun to walk through this with you.
Kelli, Allie and Kim - I have been thinking so much lately of just the blessing of your babies. They are each amazing answers to prayer and I love that. I remember the many prayers and how it felt to pray them. now I think of each of your sweet babies. Wow. And you are all precious mothers.
Kelly - You are a wonderful mother. I know your life isn't always easy, but it amazes me to see you being the mother you are to your precious boys.
Wow. What a different place in life I am in. I couldn't have imagined even a few years ago what the feelings would be of being a mother, but also I am so learning that kindred spirit kind of feeling of having you other mothers with me and going before me. I love it.
THE STORY OF US... Home loving, yummy cooking, outdoor playing, pop up camping, family of 5...

I know what you mean, Amy. It really is amazing how much being a mother changes your perspective on everything.
I cherish that time we spent hoping for - and then growing - our babies together! I hope they get to love on each other in a few weeks!
Thanks for your words, friend. I was recently thanking God for the little ones he's provided you, Kelli, Allie, and me as well...what an amazing journey He brought each of us through to become mothers... Praising Him with you!
i echo Katie and Kim. Thank you sweet Amy for your prayers. The encouragement I received through them is more appreciated than i can say.
I have truly enjoyed sharing this journey with you - feeling your encouragement after the loss of a baby, praying together for another pregnancy, celebrating together during my pregnancy with Quinn, and now sharing the blessing of motherhood. Thanks for your friendship and for helping me focus on God during the highs and lows of the past couple of years. God is so good!
