Celebration - #whole mama


  • Today I celebrate eight years of motherhood.  Somehow eight years seem weighty, like it deserves a graduation or something!
  • Today was also back to school - definitely worthy of celebration! 
  • It was day one at a new school and nobody cried or had a terrible time- woohoo!
  • I became an auntie for the 4th time to a lovely nephew.  He is far away and I can't cuddle him, but I got to see him on skype :)
  • In the last two days I was tempted into a spiral of shame and self-loathing and managed to keep myself from going down that slippery slope - VICTORY!
  • My husband diverted young master away from tantrum at key moment.

  1. I think you're right 8 years does deserve special recognition. I am on the brink of 10 years and those double digits should have a mothering ceremony of some sort as well I reckon. Congratulations on your new nephew.

  2. 8 years, me too! (Well, next week.) It does seem momentous. Plus, thank heavens for husbands and their tantrum averting abilities. ;-)

  4. Great list! Becoming and aunt again and not being able to be close must be hard. Good that skype is available. Diverting temper tantrums is great! Blessings to you and have a great weekend!
