There is deep truth to the emotional journey a woman experiences soon after she becomes a Mother. This looks different for all of us but one thing holds true. We have a deep down immediate desire to be a protector and to fulfill our child's needs for safety and security. This kind of love is hard to place into words, but our children have a unique way of showing their "thanks". It may be seen in the way they only look at us, or a happy gaze they place by the sound of mom's voice, or it could be even be by the way they follow us around all day long seeking closeness. Their need for connection is strong and very much seen in the first year of a child's life.
New mom Krista shared a wonderful view as she observed her little girl's interests peak with crawling. Yet her nightly need for mom places her back into the arms of needing comfort. Mobility has a way of making little ones seem too big for their tiny bodies. Once their adventurous side spikes, everything and everyone is a bit more interesting! Thank you Krista for sharing, Emma is such a doll and a joy to see her explore!
Pam, a stunning mom to two little ones under two shares her journey into motherhood in a candid and admiring way. Her reflection in witnessing the pure love her little ones have on the world pulls on my heart strings. Every parent can agree there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a child take on a new day with a smile! On the flip side, communication skills are off cue in the early years and parenting frustrations reach an all time high. I can really relate to the crying fits in raising my own children. Seeing them displeased and how their emotions are easily effected can really make it difficult to leave the house most days.
On the eve of Mother’s Day, another beautiful feature, the lovely Jenni along side her beautiful little girl Norah. Jenni shares a touching side to watching a sibling bond develop. Also just how precious the formation of this relationship is to the joyful side of motherhood. On the flip side, our emotions are mixed with our natural instinct to protect our little ones and this can fill our minds with worry.
