 I'm not a poet and I'm not the best at deep words but days like Mother's Day make me want to try. So here is what I want to say to all the mothers. The mothers who are in the trenches of baby and toddler-hood. The mothers who are watching teens and young adults wander. The mothers who are watching their daughters be mothers. The godmothers and foster mothers and adoptive mothers. This is my feeble attempt to share what is on my heart for you.

 The season of life that I'm in is one where a lot of my friends are getting married and starting families. While I do not have children, I have collected some resources that I think are very good for mothers-to-be, expecting moms, and new moms.
 Journaling is such a great habit for your kids. In the moment, it allows them to process an event and the emotions that go along with it. In the future, it let's them remember the feelings and even things that they may have otherwise forgotten. It's also a discipline in consistency and helps them learn handwriting and communication skills. I could keep going with the many benefits of journaling but how to you start your kids off on this (hopefully) life-long habit?
 Roe v. Wade has been overturned. The question of abortion has been returned to the states to regulate. Some states will make abortion illegal completely. Some will make it completely unrestricted. Others will be somewhere in between. Regardless, there are more women now than ever who need help and support. How can we help promote life and empower these women to life-affirming choices? I've collected a few ideas.
 Whether it is her first baby or her fifth, moms can use help when they bring a new little one home. I would almost argue that they can use more help the more kids they already have but no matter what, you can be a blessing to that mother with a brand new baby.
 I don't post a lot of book reviews on here, but this one is a Christmas devotional for moms to help slow down the season and reclaim Christmas! That's something I need to share because I post about things that help moms!
 I do not have kids, so this couldn't be my list (though I'm sure I have said crazy things to kids I've watched). I have to say, I read this list for fun sometimes and it still makes me laugh. While some of it is the memories conveyed, I think that others will be amused by the things my mom has said to us throughout the years. (I will add that she has not had to add to the list in many years :)
 I don't know about you, but my mom is extremely difficult to buy for. What do you get for a mom who has intangible hobbies? If you're like me and always scratching your head on what to get for mom, I have a few ideas for you!
 If you have little kids or your kids are home a lot more now, it might be hard to do the things you're used to doing each day. But kids don't have to get in the way, in fact, it's good for them and you if they are included in the daily routines!!!
 I'm not a mother but I know about the mommy wars and it's so sad. When you boil it down, it's simply another comparison trap. I believe things can and should be different and I don't want to see us add another element to this battle.

Hi! I'm Sarah!
I am a natural light portrait photographer. I've been taking photos since 2014 and would eat a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe for lunch everyday if I could. Thank you so much for stopping by. I blog about sessions, things I'm learning, stuff in my life, and information for YOU, my client. If you like what you see around the site, I'd love to work with you!
