The amazing mommy at We Are That Family has a little game that I am joining in for the first time….post a picture from your past – recent past or WAAAAY back when and share a bit about it…. Sincerely ‘Fro Me to You.
There is something about having a family of my own that makes me crave ‘connections’….
My kids don’t really look like me….at least I don’t think they do and am not one of those Mommys that hears, “he/she looks JUST like you!” but I would like to think they have a little of me in them, right?
Could it be my eyes? My slightly crooked nose? My Taylor chin? Or maybe they will have my talkative trait? My love of reading? Some things they are just going to get naturally and others I hope to teach.
One of my greatest loves of all time: the beach. I grew up a California girl and find a level of peace in the sound of the waves, the salty air, the rhythm of the tide. I would love to pass my ‘inner beach baby’ on to my kids. Alas, we live in the Midwest. Beaches are a bit hard to come by.
This picture was taken when Delaney was only 2 months old. It was her first trip to the beach in California. I dunked her toes (much to her displeasure) and spoke to her softly about the magic around us.
I hope someday my kids will love the ocean the way I do…or find their own place that calms them from the inside out.
