So happy to be collaborating with Kiinde in providing them with images for their social media accounts! Thank you to everyone for the continued referrals and support, it truly means the world to me and makes all the difference.

You Are Never So Beautiful as When You Have Young Children:

I am at a party, but not really because I am in the back room nursing my three-month-old baby. My husband will drift by occasionally, smiling and happy to be with other adults, and bring me a plate of food that he ate most of on the way back to me.

I am worried if it is still too loud this far away from the party for my baby? My stomach sucking-in tights have rolled down, my nursing-friendly shirt is impossible to unbutton one-handed, and here I sit. Motherhood is new and yet I feel old and beat to hell and back already.

I am trying to be in the moment with my sweet baby, but I feel very much alone and very much like I miss myself, my body, my life before this little bundle of unknown expectations came my way.

And then this older woman pops in and comes to sit with me. She brings me a full plate of food, a full glass of water and sits. She asks “How old is your little one, oh so sweet.”

And then she looks right at me and says, “You ok? This is hard, hard, hard. I had three and looking back now I can think oh it was magical, but you know what it was very hard too. And as I sit here and look at you I am reminded that women are never so pretty and beautiful really as when they have small children.”

And I start to laugh, feeling like a bloated feed bag and she says “No, really it is true. When you have little children you are love personified, you are pure giving and pure, true love and there is nothing so lovely and beautiful as that. And when I look at you, you are radiant and so very lovely.”

And with that she patted me on the shoulder, said “Keep up the good work” and was gone. That was the best party I have ever been to.
