Happy Mother's Day!

Sometimes I can't believe I'm a mom. I don't feel old enough, mature enough or responsible enough.  But this moment on mother's day I felt like a mom: 
When you're a wild and crazy kid and always on the go, it's only mom who can make you feel comfortable enough to nap in the middle of family commotion.  He saw me laying on the couch and crawled up and fell asleep. This was my favorite part of Mother's Day. The best gift. These kids still love me no matter what I look like, smell like or act like. That just baffles me since my own reflection scares me sometimes these days. 
Thank you Magooly and McBean for making me a mommy, I love you two more than anything in the world!


And thank you to my mommy for always making me feel like I can do anything which is probably why I'm always thinking I can start my own business. "Hey I can make a quilt, maybe I can open an Etsy shop!" Thank you for your sacrifice and love so I would become the mom I am.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
