Of course, after yesterday’s post about how hard it is being a SAHM, Quinn decides to be an angel all day. He took two su-u-u-u-u-per long naps, ate every
meal like a champ, and didn’t kick me in the throat once all day. Bath time was
still a bit challenging, but otherwise, he was a model child. I was almost sad
when his bedtime came around. Almost.
Here are the R’s.
Recap
In Monday’s QWA, Quinn watched the playoffs with Daddy. Go Niners!
On Tuesday, I confessed my anxiety over what I’m really teaching Quinn and my fear that I’m always doing the wrong thing.
In this week’s Not-So-Wordy Wednesday, the feisty little snap dragon
in our yard defied winter.
Thursday, I blew the dust off an old post I never intended for you to read. But I got a little courage from
another blogger and changed my mind.
Referral
This week’s super awesome blogger referral is Galit from These Little Waves. Her writing?
Amazing and soft. Her stories? Sweet and gentle. Her children? Adorable! She’s
a well-traveled mother of three
who writes about parenting
and life stuff.
I love that Galit talks about tough topics, like having an inter-faith family and celebrating the holidays. But I also love how she talks about them. How she brings you into the moment with
her. It’s like she sets an extra place at the table just for you.
In a recent post, Galit encouraged her daughter to submit a
poem she wrote, and the poem was published! Stop by and congratulate young
Kaylie here.
Galit co-hosts a wonderful monthly link-up called Memories Captured. It’s
going on right now, so check out all the great contributions, and if you’re feeling
inspired, add one of your own!
Want to get caught up fast? Check out her beautiful 2011 review in
photos. Gorgeous! So pull up a chair and get to know Gailt this weekend. She’s a phenomenal writer and simply lovely.
Rewind
This week was kinda heavy, so let’s lighten it up a bit.
Have a good laugh at this comedy of errors that all started with my incomplete blink. That is not a metaphor. I actually have an incomplete blink. Or so
says some quack doctor.
Tune in next week!
So I’m reading this book about motherhood and anxiety. I’m
starting to wonder if that was such a good idea, but it’s given me a lot to
think about. And write about. Next week I’ll share some of my thoughts about
and experience with the anxiety that motherhood seems to bring, and I’d love to
hear yours, too.
Have a good weekend, friends!
