I quickly realised after the birth of my first daughter that making the everyday mundane moments of motherhood into sacred acts of devotion to her and to myself... was one of the greatest gifts I could give us both. The simple act of intention woven into seemingly ‘nothing’ moments can bring so much nourishment. Beautiful words. Xxxx

I hold the same opinion, these are words full of love for the child.

I used to think that sometimes my mother was cruel for not letting me to play out at certain times or making me go and wash the grime of the day off me before dinner… but that all changed when I became a mum… my priorities totally changed… it was all about my son .I’m the mother of the sleeping husband upstairs lol then my daughter and then another son…

I loved being a mother and I tried through all difficulties in our lives to put them first to feed them first to nurture them as best I can… it was my job … my children are now grown and I have beautiful grandchildren … and I couldn’t be prouder .. I hope I can still be there for my children if they ever need me as that selfless love never fades … it just changes xxx

You're the best, and your kids and grandkids and children-in-laws (me!) are so lucky to have you!!! I wish I could have met your mother. ❤️

What holy words you set forth. I totally agree with you, a relationship with a child is something that should not be neglected, not in any way! It's lovely to read your warm words about living with a child and how you endure sleepless nights. I wish you happiness!

I think so too. How beautiful and incredibly easy to understand, this is clearly the result of hard work.

I agree - motherhood is a wondrous & truly sacred experience. Those ties that bind, well they will change & morph as your daughter grows but here’s the thing, no-one can takeaway your mothering links and you get to keep these precious memories in your heart & mind forever 🧡

Absolutely ❤️ I feel like I am at the very beginning of this experience of being a mother and I know there are so many changes ahead, but I hope I can always keep this kind of perspective as we move forward.
