I’ve been thinking lately about the divine role of nurturing (mothering). I know Mother’s Day can be tricky for some for many reasons. But the power of nurturing is so incredibly beautiful. From the dab of hair gel to hold down an unruly cowlick on the boys head in front of me at church a…
Mother’s Day this time around was one I won’t soon forget, nestled in a hospital room with my Lucy, entrenched in the heat of mothering, trying my darnedest to harness my “inner-Linda”…the part of me that I search for often, that part of my mother who I hope runs through my veins. (She is the…
I wrote some thoughts on Mother’s Day back HERE. I wrote about motherhood and it’s beauty and the people who mother in so many shapes and forms. But I didn’t write about the people who made me a mother. Oh and these two as well: (They who are settled safely into a summer adventure in…

…was the best yet because this happened: …and my cheeks are still hurting from smiling so much. Mother’s Day and Christmas are the days you get to talk to your missionary. I’ve always thought that was pretty exciting and awesome for moms, but never could I have realized how your heart can fly. My cheeks…
Happy Mother’s Day to all the inspiring Mothers in my life. I’ve meant to come log in here all day to write up my motherhood thoughts, oh boy I have a whole slew of them. I’ve been thinking about my grandmothers, mine and Dave’s, and their grandmothers too. And how the ripple effect of their…
