You give them roots to grow in love,
You give them wings to reach for the stars,
You set me free to be who I am,
Just by being who you are.
These lyrics are from a song called “Roots and Wings” that my mom would play for us when we were younger. Sometimes who I am is crazy (and I remember my mom being a bit of the same, while lovely at the same time… hi mom!), but I’m praying that my every day spent molding my girls really lets them have fun with childhood and explore what it is they love. It’s an honor to be their mother and an honor to see them grow (even filled with the crazy parenting moments). Just like my mom helped mold my own roots and wings, I’m hoping I’m doing the same for my girls. I’m thankful that my parents gave me wonderful memories of childhood.

awwww, that’s so sweet!!! love those lyrics!
beautiful lyrics and so well said.
This has nothing to do with your post, but I was doing some internet browsing and saw some picks of your girls on a site selling Misha Lulu clothes! And as I kept browsing, I realized the photo shoot seemed to take place in your house. I’ve been following you since you were pregnant with Soul, but I have to admit, being able to recognize your house in pictures made me feel like a bit of a stalker!
Karen, brains behind Misha Lulu, is a good friend of mine and we’ve done a couple of the lookbooks here. Not stalkerish at all! I’m the weirdo that blogs about my life. Thank you for following along!!!
Can’t believe Glow is this big already! I still think she can’t walk yet haha
I know, right?! I can’t believe she is 2 too!
Cutest 4 little gals ever.
Just darling!!! BTW…I’d love to hear more about your homeschooling adventures!!!
this post warms my heart….
