A New Home | stantose

https://stantose.wordpress.com/2015/01/21/a-new-home

January 21, 2015. This is the place we called home when we welcomed our children into the world. I cradled my eldest, wrapped in her yellow swaddling blanket, and showed her her new room. I showed her our room, the kitchen, the dining room, the living room. This is the place of life, birth, love, beauty and fatigue and truth. This is where our family was born. In our final months here, I walk through in a daze. Because you see,. This is where we sat in our rocking chair and rocked our babies to sleep, si...

A House, A Home | stantose

https://stantose.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/a-house-a-home

July 20, 2015. A House, A Home. So it follows, naturally, that all the same old parenting obstacles have followed me here: to this sunny, warm, and absolutely gorgeous (dare I say heaven sent) day. Days like this have been few and far between. 8221; they demand. “HOLD ME! 8221; And I do. And most of the time I enjoy it, or tolerate it fairly well anyhow. But what if I feel like I am not fit to lead? What if I don’t know what I’m doing? It doesn’t seem to matter because here I am. Clueless about...These d...

Tread Lightly | stantose

July 26, 2015. We met at the park. She invited me to the zoo. So I went. We chatted about all things motherly. Our children aren’t the same ages. We are not similar. But we had fun. And in chatting about those universal motherhood truths, she said, with shame in her eyes, “well, I failed at breastfeeding.”. I remember that feeling of failure. Breastfeeding is not and should never be a defining criterion for a loving and good mother. The sacrifice or pain–or even suffering–we endure is not...Let’s t...

Risk and Happiness: Three-year Retrospective, Part 1 | Daughter on Duty

https://daughteronduty.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/risk-and-happiness-three-year-retrospective-part-1

Walking with My Mother in the December of Her Life. Skip to primary content. Risk and Happiness: Three-year Retrospective, Part 1. July 8, 2015. Being back on this hill living in my childhood home, is simultaneously exuberant happiness at such great fortune and the reeling, stomach-churning terror of being in a boat on a stormy sea. After three years, though, the seas are mostly calmer and exuberance more prevalent. For previous years’ retrospectives, visit: Year One. Click to email (Opens in new window).

Begat ~ Advent Sunday | Mimi's Blog

https://bernecho.com/2016/11/27/begat-advent-sunday

November 27, 2016. This year’s first advent Sunday falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Unknown events when my kids were growing up. In those days Boxing Day sales had just started. But, somehow Boxing Day sales begat Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It has become a pilgrimage to shopping or should I say consumerism. A quest to find happiness in things and saving a lot of money by spending money we don’t have. This entry was posted in Thoughts. 3 responses to “ Begat Advent Sunday. I love it too!

Shifting Deck Chairs on the Titanic: Three-year Retrospective, Part 2 | Daughter on Duty

https://daughteronduty.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/shifting-deck-chairs-on-the-titanic-three-year-retrospective-part-2

Walking with My Mother in the December of Her Life. Skip to primary content. Shifting Deck Chairs on the Titanic: Three-year Retrospective, Part 2. July 22, 2015. We have been on stormy seas for a week. The stomach distress that led to last Sunday’s Urgent Care crisis. Stayed with us. Mama just didn’t feel well. She didn’t dress, spent a lot of time lying down, ate only because I insisted: “You can’t poop if you don’t eat.” And drank a lot of Gatorade. Is living to the century mark really the be all?
