Being a mother is a pain.

March 12, 2015

I am not sure when it happens, but there is a moment after birth when everything changes. As we look into our tiny newborns face, and scan their little body, we are bewitched. As we hold them in our arms for the first time we feel them seep through our pores into our soul. We … More Being a mother is a pain.

A lifetime of mothering has taught me what?

August 25, 2014

I have been a parent now for over twenty years. In that time I have become a very different mother to the anxious, overly protective, young Mom I was to my first baby.

March 19, 2014

It is a well known fact that when you have children you change. There is no denying it. We may all think that we will be young dynamic parents, who will always remember just how boring new parents are, and then we have a baby and we change.

Do we ever grow up?

January 9, 2014

I am  a mother. I have four children who I love to hug and to hold. I am their mentor, guide, friend and constant. For over twenty years I’ve been there for them. Yet I am still a child. My mother is thankfully a strong presence in my life. She is my mentor, guide, friend … More Do we ever grow up?
