My Crazy Fascination With Motherhood + Link Up!

Wow, being a mother is really something else, right? People try and describe the love you'll have for your baby, but really, it can't even be comprehended until experienced. It is the most unselfish of loves. A love that is not always returned but most definitely always given. A love that forces you to have strength you didn't know you had (some shown here and here). Since having Radcliff, I get emotional seeing mother-child relationships in action. There's just something so special and beautiful watching a mother interact with her child because you know she'd do anything for them. We watched Tsunami this weekend. It was heartbreaking and amazing all at the same time watching the young son help his crippled mother climb up the palm tree to safety. It really put me in the situation and I pictured Radcliff at the age helping me. It's like mothers give and give and give, and then to have your child there to give back and even save your life weighs heavy on my heart for reasons I can't explain. It's a little ironic isn't it? I'm unsure if Radcliff yet has the ability to comprehend what love is. Like if he gets that it's love every time he stares me in the eyes as I walk to the other side of the room, making sure I'm not leaving. Or when he reaches up towards me with his fat little arms so desperately wanting to be held, that that's love. I hope as we grow older together, he'll always know I would and will do anything to ensure he knows just how deeply I love him. And then there's the last picture up there... As I look at my mom's arms reaching for her baby's baby, I can understand a little more fully how deeply I was loved! Where would we be without mothers? We wouldn't. Linking up to The Pleated Poppy

A V-Day Wishlist + Link Up!

With Valentines Day around the corner, we've got hearts exploding up in here! ;)

And let's be honest, Valentines Day really is more about the girl, right? Right!?

I have decided to make it easy on Wren this year by taking it upon my precious self to create him a list. He can do lists.

Here are things I'm giving you permission to snag a guuul...

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9

You're welcome honey.

Or just a healthy serving of your sweet potato fries (with fry sauce, you always forget the fry sauce!) while you contain Radcliff as I savor them down, will do...

Ok, ok, I really just wanted an excuse to share some favorites with all of you today.

What are you loving right now?
And I'm feeling terrible now... I was only kidding when I said it's just a girl's holiday, you better trust I'll be getting Wren something special this year as well. He deserves it. What are some fun things you are thinking of getting your significant other?

P.S. Can you even get over the sweet bracelet Wren had engraved for me for my birthday last year? I don't think I've ever shared it here and it deserves some credit I think. Give us a W!

Oh and if you are single and ready to mingle this V-Day, get dressed up and party hard for us will you? Because I know for dang straight they'll be nun a dat goin on around these parts. Rad's not a fan.

Now it's...
