I came across your blog...Your home is just lovely. I came across your blog a few days ago, while browsing through a chain of blog links, each leading to more and more wonderful blogs. I wanted to say a couple of thank you's. First, thank you for your Wednesdays with Mom posts - my own mom is 78, and I have found myself sometimes dreading spending time with her because of her loss of memory, her tendency to say the same thing 20 times in an hour without remembering she'd ever said them before, not wanting to take her shopping with me because of fearing one of her dizzy spells might bite into my *me*time. You've made me stop and realize that she probably isn't going to be around that much longer and I need to make sure to enjoy time with her, instead of casting her aside. I also wanted to thank you for your post about how us young mothers shouldn't look at your gorgeous home and be jealous of the things that we don't have... I'm not even 30 yet, I have five children, I'm a full-time student, we're a single-income family... I need to be thankful for the roof over my head even if the walls are covered in crayon scribbles, my loving kids who are always quick to cuddle but won't clean up without a fight, and all the other blessings that are usually overshadowed by the home improvement that needs to be done, the dirty dishes sitting in the sink, and the never ending laundry.Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293339034965218112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156584418412314805.post-45331142535351897362008-12-04T18:34:00.000-08:002008-12-04T18:34:00.000-08:00What a nice treat for you to spend time with your ...What a nice treat for you to spend time with your mom...I envy you...my dear mom's been gone almost 19 years.<BR/><BR/>Your decorating is so nice...I still haven't done the inside yet...hopefully a little bit will get done tomorrow.Kim @ Home Is Where The Heart Ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122863531925153210noreply@blogger.com
