Anne, you are so blessed to have the help of your dear mother during your time of recuperation after childhood. I was on my own after the birth of our children. Of course my husband was there in the evenings after work but I was on my own during the day however, that was kind of the norm at that time. And I am grateful that I didn't have social media then because I might have thought that I was a failure and should have been able to "do it all" like the influencers online. But actually it is normal to struggle in motherhood especially as a new mother. So try to relax and enjoy your babies while they are still with you, they really do grow up so fast!
Thank you so much, Laura ❤️ I do feel incredibly lucky to have so much help, I don’t know how I would have managed without it! Having help and support means I can relax and enjoy this time so much more, and for that I am truly grateful.
Your writing is beautiful and the part about your mom made me tear up remembering how my mom showed up for us in the first months I was postpartum. Better yet, she’s continued to and now my daughter is almost three and they have the most special connection. Moms are incredible.
Indeed, you ARE blessed. An honest and genuine extension of care from family and friends is one of the absolute Gifts of this tricky experience we call Life. Your reflection here is a tender reminder Self Care is a prerequisite to being available for others. You’ve “got this”, Anne - as they say in the States. And you’ve got a support system that Cares. Lovely post. 🥰 -V
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Virginia ❤️ This was just what I needed to hear today. I truly am so lucky, and in this season of life I appreciate our decision to move away from the city and back closento our families so much more! Hope you are well, much love from me ❤️
What a blessing your mother is, Anne. I'm so glad she brought the cheerfulness and renewal of spring to you when you needed it. I wish this for all families and mothers. When I finished reading, I turned to my husband and let him know that when our children are grown and on their own, I'm going to show up to either deep clean or take care of the grandkids, flowers in hand, because after all, flowers are a love language.
Aw, that is so sweet! I remember coming home after school to find my own grandmother in the midst of cleaning our floors or during our laundry many times. It really is such a nice way to be held in hard times, and I really want to continue this tradition when my own kids grow up as well ❤️

Thank you so much, Mackenzie ❤️ Mothers are truly wonderful! Can’t wait to show up at my own daughters doorstep when she gets older.
Beautiful …… an Angel appearing at your door when desperately needed!
