I go about most of my days feeling pretty good about my mothering. And then I see blogs like this http://www.soulemama.com/ and this http://www.filthwizardry.com/ and I feel so inept.
On that soule mama blog there are lots of pics of the food she's prepared too. I just don't get it. Her house is perfect. Her cooking is perfect. She has four kids and one on the way. She makes all their clothes. She even sewed cloth "wrapping paper" for their Christmas presents. She makes a lot of their toys, she seems really sweet and loving and patient. How? How do these women do it?
I hate arts and crafts. I just do not enjoy it. I really really wish I did b/c it's a huge part of the mother's job description. Luckily Justin has artistic abilities.
You have a lot to be proud of. And our store-bought wrapping paper works just fine.
ReplyDeleteThat Soule Mama chick makes me want to die.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made dinner since before Leo was born except one night when Matt was holding Leo so I had to light the grill.
ReplyDeleteThe kids will remember what you did with them and the experiences you gave them. Not what kind of paper their gifts were wrapped in.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great mother. Keep up the good work.
